Fellowship Place Halloween Collaboration with Ronald McDonald House
Fellowship Place is always looking for ways for our clients to give back to the community. For Halloween, our clients assembled candy bags and made Halloween masks for the seriously ill children currently staying at the Ronald McDonald House in New Haven. Fellowship Place is often the beneficiary of charitable donations, but it is wonderful to “give back” through our collaboration with the staff and volunteers at Ronald McDonald House.
Fellowship Place Halloween Monster Mash!
Happy Halloween! The “Monster Mash” at Fellowship Place was a fun extravaganza and just another way that Fellowship promotes social connections for our clients. A recent advisory by the US Surgeon General noted that loneliness and isolation may affect our mental, physical, and societal health. Fellowship Place promotes peer support and healthy relationships as core components of all programming at the agency.
