Support Underserved Mental Health Clients with Vegan Food

Please donate!

Rochester Rehabilitation’s Ventures PROS is a not-for-profit mental health recovery program designed to help individuals with mental health diagnoses overcome challenges, live a healthy & balanced life, and achieve a variety of personally meaningful goals.  Ventures PROS provides group workshops, individual guidance, and a range of other support services to adults both on-site and in the community.  

Our PROS program is funded through Medicaid, and many of our clients rely on SNAP benefits to purchase groceries each month.  As is the reality for many individuals in Rochester and across our nation, our PROS community is facing a deep and growing anxiety over the impending lapse in benefits and how to obtain food for themselves and their families.  The need is here, and the need is now. 

Part of our work at Ventures PROS will shift to helping individuals connect with area food pantries.  However, those wonderful resources are bracing themselves as 150,000 Rochesterians will no longer receive SNAP funds.  We need immediate assistance to help bridge the gap and make sure our community stays fed.  

If you are in a position to offer financial support, you can select an amount to donate using one of the links below, or choose any other amount you prefer.  Every single cent received will be used to directly purchase vegan food for our program members in the most cost effective way possible.  Thank you humbly and sincerely for your support.
