Josephine’s Way 1st Annual Resource Fair & Donation Drive
January 15-19, 2026
Come together with us to experience visibility, support, and connection. Josephine’s Way is hosting a two-part community initiative designed to bring hope, resources, and access to care into the new year.
From January 15th to 17th, we will launch our Donation Drive to raise funds for no-cost and reduced-cost mental health services in 2026. We will also be accepting new or gently used clothing and non-perishable food items to prepare for our community pantry.
Then, on January 19th, we invite you to our full-day Resource Fair. In this space, individuals and families can connect with local providers, access practical tools, and receive support for financial, legal, health, and mental well-being needs.
Every gift and every connection made helps Josephine’s Way continue its mission to ensure that no one walks through life’s most challenging moments alone.

Helping people feel seen, heard, and supported

Bridging the gap between need and access

Creating a space where asking for help is safe and encouraged
Your presence, your questions, and your story matter here.
