The October Chuck it in the Bucket will be dedicated to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today there are over 700 state organizations and affiliates providing support groups for families living with mental illness, peer support groups and free 8 week courses for caregivers. Louisiana has 5 affiliates serving 34 parishes. About 170,000 advocacy actions have been taken by NAMI. They offer a helpline M-F from 10-10 at 1-800-950-6264; or text 988 (24/7) Check out NAMI.org for more info.
Donate any time during the month by dropping your dollar bills and coins in the bucket found in the narthex or by giving electronically HERE.
