✨💚Happy World Mental Health Day!!! 💚 ✨
Now more than ever, NAMI Blair County is asking for your love and support💙

As a non-profit, we rely on donations that never go directly into our pockets, but instead are used to invest in our community. Without the help of our volunteers, members, and others who care and support our mission to end the stigma on mental illness, we would not be here today. 💚
-------
Going forward, we'd like to hold space for other non-profits who are also in dire need of financial support:

Today, we'd like to highlight United Way of Blair County! Your donation to the United Way of the Southern Alleghenies will help fund 39 diverse partner Agencies that solve complex social problems and provide needed services in Blair, Cambria, and Somerset Counties. 💙

To donate to United Way of Blair County, please visit: https://www.unitedwaysa.org/form/donate
