Friday we gathered at Cincinnati Nature Center for our Volunteer Appreciation Picnic! It was a beautiful day filled with good food, meaningful conversation, and heartfelt appreciation for the incredible people who make NAMI Southwest Ohio’s work possible.
We played a fun game, pairing each notecard to the person it described and getting to know each other better along the way.
Though our Executive Director, Katie, couldn’t join us due to illness, we celebrated her birthday with a card full of love and gratitude. We also took a moment to honor the memories of our dear volunteer, Melanie, who is no longer with us.
As we step into Su***de Prevention Month, we are reminded of how crucial our volunteers are. Their time, energy, and compassion help save lives and enhance the well-being of countless individuals and families in our community. 💚
To all our volunteers: thank you for showing up, giving back, and making a difference every single day. You embody hope, support, and the spirit of NAMI Southwest Ohio.
