May is Mental Health Awareness month and now, more than ever, we need one another to help us get through the current pandemic. You are NOT alone in a community that is here to support you, especially during this time.

The Tasks Unlimited community provides people with mental illness the skills and resources they need to live independently in a supported environment among their peers. Our Fairweather Lodge Model stresses the importance of supported living, peer support and employment as integral pieces to recovery for people with mental illness. At our lodges, you are NOT alone. Lodge residents have each other, as well as support from specific staff dedicated to assist them with their needs.

Thank you for your overwhelming response to our call for face masks to protect our Tasks Unlimited Building Services employees. Thanks to the phenomenal donors who made masks, recruited others to sew, or pitched in monetary donations, we have now exceeded our original goal for masks and were able to purchase additional supplies like hand sanitizer, forehead thermometers, and gloves. Thank you to everyone who helped—you truly made a huge difference in protecting the health of our clients and customers.

Unfortunately our need for assistance and supplies don’t end there.

We are gratefully accepting financial donations for our Client Emergency Needs Fund, which helps clients impacted by the crisis with rent and other basic needs. We also have ongoing needs for safety supplies as the crisis continues.

As we do everything we can to protect and serve our clients during this time, we appreciate any help you are able to give. Make a financial donation online now: https://app.etapestry.com/onlineforms/…

If you would prefer to purchase supplies to donate, forehead thermometers and hand sanitizer are the most urgent needs at the present time. Please email development@tasksunlimited.org to discuss how to send or drop-off these items. You can also help by sharing this message with your friends! Thank you again! ... See MoreSee Less

Our Tasks Unlimited Building Services janitorial and mailroom employees are essential services workers in the federal and county agencies where they work. They are on the front lines each day helping to keep the critical government agencies where they work open, clean and safe. Most also ride the bus to work.

We desperately need masks to help keep these dedicated workers safe. We are seeking volunteers to sew and donate homemade face masks. We are asking for 400 face masks in total.

To ensure that your homemade masks are effective, we are accepting masks that are made from certain patterns and fabric material as recommended by health officials. For example, we are seeking masks that:

1) Tie behind the head to reduce face touching and remains tied while working (Face masks with elastic loops are also accepted!)
2) Cover the brim of the nose and under the chin, expanding well across the face
3) Made of 100% cotton and double-layered
4) Accommodates differing head shapes and sizes

The above are a few things to keep in mind when creating these much-needed face masks. Please visit these helpful links for additional resources on how to create these face masks at home:
https://health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/…
https://www.joann.com/make-to-give-response/
https://instructables.com/id/…

We are doing everything we can to protect and serve our clients during this time but need your help. We appreciate any help you are able to give. If you are able to provide these in-kind gifts, please email development@tasksunlimited.org to discuss how to send or drop-off these items.
