Turning Point: We are thrilled to have completed our capital campaign ($3.2 million) for the shelter in Delaware. DMMHRSB contributed $250K specifically for the campaign, which was an incredibly significant gift in helping us reach our goal – thank you! We are currently training new staff for the Delaware shelter, and have also been busy getting furniture/appliance deliveries and setting up. We plan to open and operate in the new year!

NAMI of Delaware and Morrow: For anyone who might be interested in being trained to facilitate a support group, we have an upcoming training January 26 & 27.This training will be offered in Delaware . Typically, training is offered in Columbus and is only available a few times each year, so this is a great opportunity to be trained if you think you might be interested.
