Meals for Mental Health
NAMI Vermont is continuing its fundraising efforts with a new event called Meals for Mental Health! From June 13th to July 31st, we’re teaming up with locally owned restaurants that have generously agreed to donate a percentage of their proceeds on specific dates to support our mission. The funds raised will directly benefit our free mental health programs, and community support groups throughout the state of Vermont.
Do you know of a restaurant that would like to support mental health? We’d love to hear about it! Please contact Events Coordinator Kathleen Kilbourne at [email protected].
