There are just hours left to change lives with your year-end gift.

When someone in Massachusetts faces a crisis, your support makes all the difference. Thanks to donors like you, Riverside provides compassionate, timely care when it matters most. People like Megan found hope beyond anxiety and trauma. Danielle found safety and stability—and now helps others find their own path forward.

If you haven’t yet made your gift, now is the perfect moment. A donation today still counts for 2025 and immediately supports individuals and families who need help most.

Please don’t wait. Give now and help keep hope, healing, and stability within reach. https://ow.ly/VCvm50XQKcj

If you’ve already made your year-end gift to Riverside, thank you very much. If not, there are just 48 hours left to make your generosity count.

Your support helps people across the Commonwealth find hope and stability. People like Megan, who found acceptance and healing at a Riverside school and is currently thriving in college. And Danielle, who turned to Riverside during homelessness and now helps others as a Certified Peer Specialist. These are just two of the many lives touched because of caring supporters like you.

Please don’t wait until the last minute. Make your year-end gift today and help ensure compassion, care, and possibility remain within reach for those who need it most. https://ow.ly/PWPs50XQtKL

With just 3 days left before the New Year, here are a few heartfelt reasons why supporting Riverside Community Care makes a lasting difference.

1) When someone is facing a behavioral health crisis and feels unsure where to turn, your gift helps make sure compassionate, trusted care is available to meet them with understanding and respect.

2) Your support also makes whole-person care possible across a lifetime—from infants and children to teens, adults, and older adults—helping people build resilience, find stability, and move forward with confidence.

3) When hope feels out of reach for someone experiencing trauma, loss, or overwhelming stress, your generosity restores dignity, comfort, and the belief that better days are ahead.

Riverside is a nonprofit, and everything we do is made possible by caring supporters like you. We hope you’ll consider making a charitable gift to Riverside Community Care and help carry hope into the New Year. Donate now! https://ow.ly/W3sO50XQ9wy
