Open Door Social Club Memorial Tree Fund
The Open Door Social Club began 20 years ago as a small “drop-in” center for those with severe and chronic mental illness/substance abuse issues. It has grown into a self governed, staff supported environment which inspires recovery and provides a space for people to socialize and decrease isolation and loneliness. The social club has become a family.
Club members want to create a Memorial Tree for members who have died. Many have no other family or lasting remembrance of their lives. Deceased members names will be engraved on leaves on the tree.
If you would like to donate to the Memorial Tree Fund to assist us in creating a lasting memorial for those who deserve to be remembered and honore, please contact Karen Evans, 203.285.5640.

- Employment: Providing vocational assessment, job placement and job support.
- Recreational: Opportunities to shop, attend performances and visit nearby recreational areas with the assistance of trained professional counselors and social workers.
