Virtual NAMI Connection Peer Support Group is a free, peer-led support group for any adult who has experienced symptoms of a mental health condition. You will gain insight from hearing the challenges and successes of others, and the groups are led by trained leaders who’ve been there. 💙

We will be hosting this virtual support group on the third Monday of each month; our next meeting is scheduled for November 17th. ✨

NAMI Connection Recovery Support Group will help you:
• Find strength in sharing experiences
• Not judge anyone’s pain
• Forgive ourselves and reject guilt
• Embrace humor as healthy
• Accept that we cannot solve every problem
• Understand that mental health conditions are no one’s fault and can be traumatic experiences.

For more information, please call: 814-327-7083 💙

No one in our community should go hungry. 🍲🍞

Right now, we are seeing an increase in need within our communities — and United Way needs your help to fill plates across the region.

🤝To date, CPV Rogue's Wind, owned by Competitive Power Ventures, and The Polacek Family Partnership Fund at the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, have generously provided $15,000 in matching gifts for Cambria County, and we’re seeking similar matches in Blair and Somerset.

But you can make an impact in Blair, Cambria, or Somerset with a gift today. Just pick the county you'd like to help on the giving portal linked below. Every dollar helps keep food on local tables. Together, we can show what it means to lend a helping hand to our neighbors.

Please give today — and choose the county you’d like to help.

United is the Way to end hunger.
