A Community Gathering in Support of Connection is the Medicine Foundation
Connection Changes Everything Wednesday, November 18th • 5–7 PM As the days grow shorter, we invite you to gather around the fire for a meaningful evening celebrating the power of human connection.
Join Connection is the Medicine Foundation for an intimate gathering of friends, neighbors, and community supporters who believe in the transformative power of connection.
Together, we'll slow down, enjoy warm tea and thoughtful conversation, and hear powerful firsthand stories from individuals whose lives have been touched by the Foundation's programming.
Through shared experiences, reflection, and storytelling, we'll explore what connection makes possible in our lives and how, through generosity, we can extend that gift to more people in our community.
This is an opportunity to experience the heart of the Foundation's mission, connect with others who share a spirit of care and generosity, and discover the impact we can create together.
