FOOD
We serve food on the first and third Tuesdays, every Thursday, and never on Saturday.
GIFT CARDS
To earn a gift card one must attend twelve times or supplement attendance with BINGO points to get to twelve.
The award is a $15 card from either Giant Eagle or Family Dollar. We play eight BINGO games every Saturday.
MONTHLY PARTIES
The monthly mini-party occurs on the first Thursday of the month when we celebrate all those whose birthdays occur that month.
All persons attending the mini party with birthdays in that month will receive a Birthday gift card of $15 from Giant Eagle or Family Dollar.
SKILL LEARNING
We do not teach skills, although the “skill” of interpersonal relationships is always modeled and learned.
WOMEN’S PROGRAM
At this time we don’t offer women’s programs.
We schedule group events in the community such as a cruise on the Gateway Clipper fleet.
There is no charge to attend. The only requirement for attending is a referral from the individual’s mental health provider, which can be as easy as giving the provider’s name and phone number.
Compeer is looking for caring, community volunteers to spend a minimum of 4 hours a month for one year to a person in recovery from a mental health difficulty. Community volunteers are matched in one-to-one friendships with adults currently in mental health treatment.

Matches spend quality time doing community-based activities to encourage positive recovery. Matches are professionally supported and monitored to promote skill and self-esteem growth. Adult mentor/client relationships help reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness, and increase awareness of people with mental health challenges.
