Fellowship Place has been awarded a 2022 grant award from Pfizer Inc. in support of the agency’s Healthy Meal Program, which addresses food insecurity & nutrition for low-income adults living with serious mental illness who attend therapeutic activities on our agency’s campus. The program provides access to free healthy meals daily.
Thanks to new funding and a partnership with the City of New Haven, the Fellowship Inn drop-in program for the homeless is now open seven days a week. The Inn provides a safe place for the homeless to congregate during the day with access to meals, showers, laundry, lockers, and charging stations for electronic devices. Staff may also help with linkages to primary and behavioral health care, housing, employment services, and government entitlement programs.
CONNRI Lodge, an adult retreat center operated by the Salvation Army, welcomed twenty members of Fellowship Place for a wonderful day of summer fun. The trip was underwritten by the Birgitta Johnson Campership Fund. Given the challenges of the past year, this day away from the city was a welcome respite for Fellowship’s clients. All who attended were fully vaccinated, and the CONNRI staff made certain safety precautions were in place. Special thanks to the Salvation Army and donors to the Campership Fund for making the trip possible.
Fellowship Place Artists proudly participated in an afternoon of theatre-making, courtesy of Debbie Shaffer, a member of the Fellowship Place and Long Wharf Theatre Board of Directors, who donated Long Wharf Theatre stage kits to the Fellowship Place art program. As noted on the Long Wharf Theatre website, through the theatre stage kits they “have found ways to make art, support each other, and expand access during this time”.
