Christmas, with its rich connotations of celebration and fellowship, is difficult for some people with a mental illness to observe, cut off from extra income and family. CMHA Vernon strives to provide consumers with those elements that make Christmas special.
Through the Gift of Hope campaign we collect gifts to wrap and distribute to individuals who may not otherwise receive gifts, are hospitalized or are isolated over the Christmas season due to a mental health issue. This year we distributed gifts to approximately 200 people!
We are very grateful for the funds and gifts annually donated by our community toward this campaign.
