Dear Neighbors,
From my family to yours, I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Thanksgiving!
The holidays are a time of connection and celebration, but they can also be a time of need for many families. If you or someone you know could use support — whether it’s food assistance, housing resources, crisis help, or mental health services — 2-1-1 Ventura County is available 24/7 to connect you with programs across our region.
For neighbors in the Conejo Valley, Food Share, Manna Conejo Valley Food Bank, Adelante Comunidad Conejo and other local organizations continue to provide essential support.
My team will be out this season helping to support the annual Food Share Can Tree drive, which supports families countywide. If you’re in a position to give, donating food, volunteering, or contributing to local nonprofits is a meaningful way to make a difference.
For some community members holidays can be really challenging. Wellness Every Day, supported by our County Behavioral Health team, offers helpful tips for supporting mental health. A small act of connection — checking in on a friend or neighbor — can go a long way.
As we gather with our loved ones, I wish each of you a safe, peaceful, and happy Thanksgiving.
Kind regards,
Jeff
Supervisor Jeff Gorell, District 2 County of Ventura |
