These supplies will save the agency significant funds and help keep our staff and clients safe as we continue to deal with the pandemic.
Fellowship Place continues to be open for in-person activities, making it a priority to always have an adequate supply of PPE in stock.
Volunteer Mike Callahan and his family have provided agency employees with lunch two times a week throughout the partial shutdown (required due to the corona-virus crisis). The employees are helping to make certain agency clients receive a minimum level of service, including daily “to go” meals, cleaning supplies, and masks. The agency has also kept the Fellowship Inn open so our homeless clients have access to free showers and laundry facilities. We are so grateful to the Callahan family for their generosity and recognition of the sacrifices is staff is making to keep the agency at least partially open.
Fellowship Place is this year’s recipient of the Organizational Leadership Award given annually by The Consultation 
Center, a collaboration of the Yale School of Medicine Dept. of Psychiatry and the CT Mental Health Center. The award recognizes a nonprofit agency that makes outstanding contributions to the promotion of health & wellness, the prevention of mental health and substance abuse problems, and the enhancement of equity and social justice. Congratulations to the staff and Board of Directors of Fellowship Place for the vision, dedication, and hard work that has helped the agency grow to meet the ever-changing needs of individuals who suffer from serious mental illness. State Representative Toni Walker of New Haven was also honored for legislative advocacy.
Construction of Fellowship Place’s new storage facility is now completed. The building replaces a dilapidated garage and will be used to store supplies, maintenance equipment, and donations. This project was the last phase of the campus renovation master plan, which began in 2007. Funding for the project was provided by the CT Office of Policy & Management’s Non-Profit Grant program, and private donors. A special thank you to our Architect Eric Epstein for his vision and support, and our remarkable and hardworking construction team from Hylwa Inc., led by Scott Torre and Bob Landry.
