Hub Happenings - January 2023 💚

A LETTER From Our Executive Director, Laurie Sigalos

Dear Friends of the Hub,

On behalf of the entire team at Philipstown Behavioral Health Hub, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude for the generous donations we have received over this past year. We are happy to announce our donors have met the goal for our 10k match! This has made a profound impact on our ability to provide support to those in need, and we are truly grateful for your commitment.

So many of you have donated to the Hub in 2022 and we have seen an increase in recurring sustaining donors. This has enabled us to serve a greater number of families and individuals, to provide more comprehensive services, and to increase our capacity to serve more effectively. If you would still like to give to the Hub it's never too late to donate!

Your generosity has been essential in helping us to create a safe, supportive environment for all members of our community. We cannot thank you enough for your belief in our mission and for your support throughout this past year.

With deep appreciation,
Laurie

Laurie Sigalos
Executive Director

Senior Community Conversations 

Join us Fridays at 10:15 AM - 11:00 AM at Philipstown Friendship Center

We are excited to introduce our new free program for seniors, Senior Community Conversations. This program is designed to help seniors stay connected with their community and engage in meaningful conversations with others. Through this program, seniors will have the opportunity to attend weekly meetings to discuss topics that are important to them and get to know their neighbors. We also plan to host special events that focus on topics like aging, communication, health, and overall well-being. We believe this program will help seniors stay engaged in their community and lead more fulfilling lives.
