Grateful For Support From Sandy Hook Merchants
Grateful For Support From Sandy Hook Merchants
To the Editor:
I would like to express our deep appreciation to SHOP, Sandy Hook Organization for Prosperity, for their generous donation to our agency. Since our agency relocated to Sandy Hook, we have been welcomed with open arms by the community merchants.
Newtown Youth & Family Services is a licensed, nonprofit, mental health clinic and youth service bureau. We provide outpatient individual, couple, and family counseling and substance abuse treatment services. In addition we offer prevention initiatives, after school, evening and weekend programs, and support groups to promote individual and community wellness.
The donation we received will go directly to our underage drinking prevention program. Our program offers a mentoring program at Newtown High School for freshman/juniors and offers alcohol-free activities for teens! We are very grateful for the support that SHOP has shown us and are excited that we are part of this charming village!
Thank you,
Candice Bohr
