Chesapeake Charities awarded For All Seasons its 2020 Nonprofit of the Year Award as it recognized local heroes during the pandemic.
Recognition was done virtually through video interviews. A spokesperson for Chesapeake Charities said that For All Seasons, “mounted an all-hands-on-deck approach to address the mental health crisis arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic distress and social isolation. With a huge uptick of clients since March 1, For All Seasons added teletherapy and telepsychiatry and additional staff to address the dramatically higher number of calls to its 24/7 hotline.”

It has taken extraordinary measures to meet the growing mental health needs on the Mid-Shore, and I am so proud of the entire staff stepping up to deliver these services.”
For All Seasons operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-sectarian organization established in the Mid-Shore area to assist individuals, groups, and communities by providing trauma-certified Mental Health and Psychiatry Services, Rape Crisis Services including advocacy and crisis hotlines, and education and outreach to the community.
