Here at SPCS, as elsewhere, the spread of COVID-19 virus requires an immediate response. Maintaining uninterrupted access to the Crisisline in a way that is safe for our staff is our single highest priority. The Crisisline provides free crisis counseling to anyone in emotional distress, including people who are concerned about the spread of COVID-19. We save lives and we help people get through tough times.

We are postponing Dancing for Life, originally scheduled for March 21, 2020. We will try to reschedule later this spring. For those who have purchased tickets or made donations, we look forward to seeing you then.

Dancing for Life, now in its 8th year, is our major fundraising event for the Crisisline.  This year we’re raising funds to support an additional 1,000 callers by restoring local overnight service. Our community’s need for this service has not ended. We count on your gifts to help us reach this important goal.

The most important thing you can do right now to support SPCS is to make a donation. Here is how you can help: You can make donations on the Dancing for Life peer-to-peer fundraising page at https://ithacacrisis.networkforgood.com/projects/89769-2020-dancing-for-life-fundraiser.

Or you can start your own fundraising campaign by inviting family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors to make donations, on the peer-to-peer fundraising page.
