What an incredible Haunted House fundraiser!🎃👻

ServiceNet's Prospect Meadow Farm made an incredible haunted house experience for so many people. Over the weekend of the 24th, the farm hosted three events: a sensory-friendly kids’ night, an evening for farm participants and their families, and a truly spooky night for adults. Together, the events welcomed over 170 attendees.

The goal of the event was to create an event that participants could be proud of and take ownership of, while having tons of fun!

The farmhands were involved in every step of the way—creating the haunted house story line, building and decorating, and volunteering at the events. The Skillbuilders Makerspace + program also put in a lot of great work creating spooky decorations for the event. 🎃🕸️🕷️

Invisible disabilities are invisible- not imaginary. Many people live with chronic pain, mental health struggles, physical disabilities or other conditions that can’t be seen, but are deeply felt.

Though Invisible Disabilities Week is only 7 days long, ServiceNet works year-round in raising awareness and compassion for those living with unseen challenges. Let’s listen, believe, and support one another.
Did you know? Sunflowers are the symbol for invisible disabilities 🌻

We had such a great time at Greenfield Community College's Mental Health Resource Fair last week!💚💜

The fair brought together ServiceNet and many other community partners to share information about the mental health resources available in our area. We enjoyed connecting with attendees, answering questions, and handing out plenty of brain stress balls! 🧠

It was a fantastic opportunity to highlight local mental health supports and collaborate with other organizations working to make a difference in our community.
