Mission: The Mental Wellness Center works with thousands of people every year to improve and maintain mental wellness. They are a community-based nonprofit organization that specializes in helping adults living with mental health disorders meet critical and basic needs as a foundation for their wellness. They offer programs for teens and adults and work to educate youth, families, and community groups about mental health so that we can take better care of ourselves individually and as a community.

Calls to Action

The Mental Wellness Center’s Fellowship Club has provided a safe space and access to resources and activities for adults living with a mental health diagnosis for nearly 60 years. This holiday season, the Mental Wellness Center is seeking donations of $20 gift cards to support their holiday program and continue the tradition of giving each member a holiday gift. Some ideas for gift cards include grocery and food retailers, pharmacies, and coffee shops.

Additionally, they are currently seeking donations of the following items for the Fellowship Club Care Closet. They ask that all items be laundered and gently used:

Men’s casual clothing
Jackets and warm outerwear for men and women
Socks and undergarments for men and women
Shoes for men and women
Umbrellas and sleeping bags

For all donation inquiries, please contact Fellowship Club Manager Carrie Faulkner at 805.884.8440 ext. 3351, cfaulkner@mentalwellnesscenter.org.
