Josephine’s Way 1st Annual Resource Donation Drive
January 15-17, 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.

Why This Fair Matters
At Josephine’s Way, we believe that mental health, stability, and dignity go hand in hand. This Resource Fair is about more than information—it’s about:
-
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.
Save the Dates
Together, we can make sure no one has to navigate life’s most challenging moments alone.
