Lindsay Gozzi-Theobald, President and CEO of East House, and Joy Auch from Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield discuss East House’s comprehensive services beyond housing, including residential recovery, peer support, workforce development, and care coordination. They highlight the growing needs as winter approaches, including coat drives and the importance of volunteer engagement to provide comfort and community to shelter guests.
Learn about the annual Angel Project, which connects treatment participants with generous donors to provide gifts for their children and themselves during the holidays. Excellus’s support allows expansion of the program to include gifts directly for adults receiving services.
