Community Call to Action: Supporting Families Impacted by the Government Shutdown

Across the nation, families are facing unprecedented uncertainty as federal benefits and essential support remain disrupted during the ongoing government shutdown. In Connecticut alone, an estimated 360,000 residents representing approximately 210,000 households are at risk of losing access to SNAP food assistance. This crisis leaves 1 in 8 Americans unsure of how they will afford food for their families, heightening the potential for one of the most significant hunger emergencies in our country’s recent history.

During times of hardship, community strength and compassion become vital. Many individuals and families have been fortunate to remain financially stable throughout this federal pause in services, but countless others have not. Now it’s time to HELP our neighbors.

Holistic Behavioral Health LLC & Holistic Behavioral Health Wellness Center Inc. Food Drive Initiative

In response to this urgent need, Dr. La’Shondra M. da Cruz, LPC, Psy.D., and the teams at Holistic Behavioral Health LLC and the Holistic Behavioral Health Wellness Center Inc. are launching a Community Food Drive to support families affected by this crisis and help reduce food insecurity among children, families, and older adults in our community. Dr. da Cruz and her daughter decorated the boxes together!!

We kindly ask our community partners, local businesses, and caring neighbors to join us by donating non-perishable food items. Your support will directly provide nourishment, stability, and hope for households experiencing food insecurity during this challenging time.

This group will be held in-person at our office 2558 Whitney Ave. During the summer the group will be held twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays at 5pm). Boys ages 9 to 12 are welcome and there is a limit of 10 spots! This group will start on June 30th, 2025!

Next week they will began exploring copings skills, and identification of positive natural support when they feel these emotions in the future.

Great Job Mr. Leo facilitating such an enriching environment for our young boys!!
