We are so excited to share that

We are so excited to share that we are establishing an endowment for Maria Droste Counseling Center in honor of Linda McKinzie, our long-time former CEO and mental health access champion.

Who is Linda McKinzie?
Most people who know Linda would describe her as thoughtful, funny, kind, and unconditionally accepting of others. At Maria Droste she has been a leader, a visionary, and a mentor. Linda has worn many hats during her 25+ years with MDCC including intern, administrator, TTG Member, supervisor and CEO.


Why an endowment?
An endowment is a type of fund will ensure Maria Droste Counseling Center exists in future. Endowment giving is visionary (just like Linda) and is an act of faith and hope in the future. An endowment will ensure that generations to come have access to mental health regardless of wealth.

Why Donate Now?
For the month of February our partners committed to matching each donation up to $10,000 in honor of Linda. Double your impact on the future of mental wellness by donating (or pledging to donate!) before 02/28!

Going Beyond the Gala
Because we can't do our annual gala this year, we've created a new way for individuals and businesses to support mental health access.

2021 is an important time for each of us to step up and help out to support one another. Becoming a mental wellness champion is a great way to do just that.
"After experiencing other therapists, we finally found Kate Arellano who has done a wonderful job getting my kids to open up and discuss what is on their minds. There have been several previous therapists who have not connected with my boys and she has been successful."
