The Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation sponsors the weekly class “Music and Movement,” which gives Fellowship Place clients the opportunity to learn and practice a variety of dance styles. The class helps to sharpen focus and attention skills, and promotes exercise for the body and mind.
Fellowship Place thanks our supporters for their donations of gift cards, blankets, winter gear, and toiletries, which were distributed at the agency’s annual Holiday Celebration. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all!
Employees from Kolmar Americas shared the spirit of the Holiday Season with Fellowship Place today. They collected hundreds of gifts as well as toiletries and warm blankets for distribution to our clients now and throughout the year. We are very proud and fortunate to include Kolmar Americas as one of our corporate partners.
A very special thank you to our volunteers, Stop & Shop, and our Board of Directors for celebrating Thanksgiving with the Fellowship Place community today. Best wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving, from our campus to your homes and offices.
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.
As Executive Director of Fellowship Place, I have been amazed this week by the commitment to our agency’s mission and the hard work carried out by our staff. From Maintenance, Direct Services, Food Services to Admin Support, whether working on campus or remotely from home, our team has managed to carry out vital services to the individuals we serve and keep important business functions operating. Although we are not considered officially part of the healthcare system, Fellowship Place staff are making a huge contribution to the community by helping vulnerable clients with no natural supports get through these challenging and unprecedented times. My thanks go out to every employee. Be proud of your work and stay positive.
