Keeping Holidays Bright with Helpful Community Resources

Keeping Holidays Bright with Helpful Community Resources

Posted by Rachel Foy on December 15, 2022 in General News

Happy holidays! With winter break upon us, we encourage you to relax, unwind, and settle into a safe and restful break.

The holiday season is a time for togetherness and joy, but it can sometimes bring unwelcome guests, like stress and grief. Some of us may be experiencing the holidays without a loved one. Some of us may be balancing endless to-do lists from family and work. While we each celebrate this season’s joys, it’s important to stay mindful, acknowledge our feelings, and reach out for help if needed.

To help keep your holidays bright, below are helpful resources, from food to housing support. We encourage you to save these resources to easily reference them should you or a family member need help.
