Nonprofit and business collaboration, let us work together and make bigger strides in bettering the community in fighting isolation and loneliness (mental health). Daily we turn on the news or view our social media pages and see that many Americans, regardless of age, are having a mental health crisis. Unfortunately, many of our communities and funders of non-profits do not understand the importance of mental health awareness until someone is injured or killed; and the few dollars that are awarded to non-profits rarely if ever are awarded to organizations such as Forward from Here (FFH) where mental health is their mission. FFH will like you to consider:

 

• Attending an FFH event (check the calendar on the website for upcoming events).

•  Businesses (donate food that you will normally throw away at the end of your shift or gift cards for your service).

• Churches (donate a portion of your benevolent offerings).

• Community (donate time by saying hello or having a brief conversation with someone).

• GET INVOLVED in how you feel comfortable volunteering time.

• Spread the word (tell friends and family about the FFH organization).
