| Holiday Cheer for CMHA |
|
Thank you to the generous donors who made the holidays merry and bright for CMHA clients!
The true spirit of the holidays shone brightly on December 21 when a group of volunteers, led by Karen and Tim Cote and
Craig, Tess, and Quinn McCurdy of Berlin, gave a holiday party for 86 children and families served by CMHA programs in New Britain.
Each child received a gift, and the group enjoyed a visit from Santa and his elves. The joy was apparent in the smiles of these children who struggle with behavioral health issues and don't always have a reason to smile.

CMHA received nearly 150 handmade hats, scarves, and other knitted items from the Bristol-based volunteer group “Stitching for Shelters” on December 14. The generous donation provided comfort and warmth for children and families served by CMHA programs.
Pictured with a few of the knitted items are (from left) Executive VP & Chief Financial Officer Mary Casey, Stitching for Shelters volunteers Jeanette Neveu and Jackie Sekorsky, VP of Child & Family Services Regina Moller, and VP of Adult Outpatient Services Teresa Works. |
