Your donation will help us provide breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, and laundry supplies for homeless adults who come to the Inn for daytime support services. Funding of this program is a priority, especially as the agency struggles with rising costs due to inflation and supply chain issues, and a 30% increase in demand for services. Fellowship Place serves more than 200 homeless adults annually, many of whom struggle with a mental illness or a mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorder.
Winners will receive a free trip to CONNRI Lodge, an adult retreat center sponsored by The Salvation Army in Ashford, CT. To win a campership, clients submit an essay or piece of artwork that communicates why they would love a getaway from urban life. All entries are judged by a subcommittee of Fellowship Place Board of Directors. Pictured from left to right are winners Vito, Emily, Karen, Dana, Board Member Ruth Sachs, Cheryl, Joanna and Mark. This year’s trip will take place July 11 to July 14.
Fellowship Place will take applications for the 2023 CT Renters Rebate program April 1-Sept. 30. This program provides low-income elderly and disabled residents who paid rent in Connecticut during 2022 with a rebate ranging from $10 to $700. What a great opportunity for people on a fixed income to stretch their budgets!
