We're very happy to hear that our donation to the "Grab Bag" component of the Mental Health  Association's (MHA) annual Catoctin Affair Gala helped the organization raise more than $100,000. The money rasied ensures that MHA's programs and services will be available whenever our families, friends, neighbors or co-workers need help and hope.

The Frederick County Mental Health Association provides "programs that promote positive mental health and offer not just education, but the support and compassion needed to make real and lasting changes in the lives of those (they) serve."

One such service is the association's hotline, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It receives 1,700 suicide calls per year, an average of one call every five hours. The hotline has saved many lives and ensures that everyone has access to mental health services.

We are happy to support an organization that saves families, saves lives and makes our community whole.  Because according to MHA, "mental health is not about those people out there, it is about all of us. When one of us grows stronger, the whole community benefits."
