"As part of our exploration of stewardship in action, Christ the King will be offering a fall workday to our members and community on Saturday October 16 from 8 until noon. This will be a morning of working together to help those who need our hands and hearts to do work that might otherwise might be a struggle for them. We will be raking lawns, cleaning gutters and washing windows (on single story houses).
This is part two of our solicit... We will be looking for people that might need this help as well as many to provide the help. Please contact Jim Weyers at [email protected] with both homeowners needing help as well as your willingness to work. This may well be a great opportunity for families to work together. Children with parents are welcome.
We will need the project houses identified by September 15th to allow for organization of materials and manpower ahead of the actual workday."

Join us for A United Day of Hope
For the second year in a row, NAMIWalks Fox Valley will be a little different — while making a lot of difference. While last year's Walk was a fully virtual experience, this year's Walk will be a hybrid event with both in-person* and virtual options. On October 9, you can join us at the Fox Cities Stadium to walk a 5K, walk with friends and family on your own desired route, or spend Walk day honoring mental health "your way".
No matter what you choose to do on Walk day, as you spread the word about mental health and raise funds in the weeks leading up to the Walk, you will make a huge difference in keeping NAMI Fox Valley's mental health programs going and growing for the coming year!
Our collective mental health needs may be at their greatest in living memory. Typically, one in five U.S. adults experiences mental illness in a given year. Since the pandemic began, however, one in three U.S. adults has reported experiencing depression or anxiety. Over this time, NAMI Fox Valley's programs have been incredibly active. Indeed, we have served more support group participants and warm line callers than ever before. Your participation in NAMIWalks 2021 will help us to continue to provide such incredibly important services.
*NOTE: NAMI Fox Valley will closely monitor CDC and local health department COVID-19 guidelines. We will determine and enforce COVID-19 safety measures accordingly. Additionally, if safety necessitates doing so, we may transition the Walk to a fully virtual event.
Remember: United, we insist on Mental Health for All.
