Thank you to Christa Vancini Doran, owner of Tuffgirlstrong in Hamden, CT, for the generous donation of 60 pocketbooks filled with toiletries she and her gym members collected for the women who attend Fellowship Place. Generous gifts like this make a big difference in the day to day lives of the people served by the agency.
This summer Fellowship Place clients showed off their green thumbs and community spirit by helping to clean up Rainbow Park. Over the course of several weeks our group worked side by side with other neighborhood volunteers to clear weeds and storm damage and plant new trees and shrubs.
Just another way Fellowship Place is paying it forward.
Thirty clients from Fellowship Place along with four members of our staff enjoyed a perfect summer holiday July 17-20 at the Salvation Army’s Camp CONNRI. Fresh air, swimming, boating, archery, dances, arts & crafts and, most of all, “fellowship” made for a great vacation and many happy memories. A special thank you to our supporters who contributed to the Birgitta Johnson Campership Fund, which underwrote the cost of the trip for five of the campers. Thanks also to the Salvation Army for their hospitality.
Bon Voyage to the Fellowship Place group who left for a four day trip to the Salvation Army’s Camp CONNRI on Tuesday!!! Love to see all those happy faces.
