Every year Mental Health America in Allen County participates in the annual Christmas Gift Lift project. Many community volunteers purchase gifts or fill stockings with toiletries for area residents who suffer from mental illness or developmental delay and who live in local nursing homes, independent living programs, Easter Seals ARC, AWS, Park Center and other group homes and for people who are in psychiatric departments of the local hospitals over the holidays.
