“For 55 years, MCC has provided critical mental health, wellness and social services to our community.
“This is an amazing community,” said Ruth Ferguson, chair of the MCC Board of Trustees, “and we thought organizing a Community Wellness Day would be a great way to bring people together and showcase the incredible organizations and individuals who provide funding so MCC can provide such important services, as well as the local businesses that keep our community healthy and thriving.”
Community Wellness Day is a free, family-friendly event welcoming Marblehead and neighboring residents and featuring health and wellness vendor exhibits as well as fun activities like pony rides, ice cream trucks, giant classic games and more.
In celebration of the Counseling Center’s 55th anniversary, T-shirts featuring the winning design by Marblehead student Samantha Cooper will be sold at Community Wellness Day. Proceeds from the T-shirt sales will go directly to the Counseling Center’s ongoing mission of providing mental health and social service services to the people of Marblehead and its neighbors.
