Happy Pride Month! June is a time to recognize and celebrate the strength to live openly and authentically as yourself. At Vail Communities, you are seen, loved, and valued just as you are.🌈

Everyone deserves a supportive, loving community. Mental health recovery doesn't happen in isolation - it happens in the presence of others.💚

Words truly can’t express our gratitude. Vail Communities is in complete awe and over-the-moon excited to share the news with you: RamCo and Uptown Clubhouses will remain open!💙

Through a deeply transformational and generous gift from an extraordinary donor, Corey Sauer, combined with the recent notification that DHS will provide bridge funding through the end of 2026, Vail can continue to provide life-changing services to our RamCo and Uptown communities.

We are profoundly thankful to Corey, whose compassion and heart have made this possible. We are also thankful to DHS for their continued partnership and commitment to our members and community. To read the full news, visit: https://vailcommunities.org/media-news.

No one should suffer in silence. Everyone deserves a supportive community to walk with them each step of the way.💚

"[The Clubhouse] is an essential service. It is a safety net that is established, trusted, and works...To lose this service would potentially be a bigger burden on the county and state mental health systems."

Vail Communities President & Executive Director, Ashley Trepp, and Clubhouse Member, Keith Washington, joined WCCO & CBS News Minnesota yesterday morning to discuss the pause in services at RamCo and Uptown Clubhouses. We urge our community to come together to ensure we secure contingency funding for these life-saving programs. Watch the full segment below.

Questions are being asked within the mental health community, as they also feel the consequences of funding cuts. Ashley Trepp, president of Vail Communities, and Vail Clubhouse Member Keith Washington joins Beret Leone on WCCO Sunday Morning at 7 a.m.

With profound heartbreak, immense disappointment, and deep concern for the members, staff, and communities we serve, Vail Communities announces the difficult decision to move forward with its contingency plan to pause operations at its RamCo and Uptown Clubhouse locations effective June 30, 2026, pending the securement of alternative funding.

Vail Communities had the opportunity to join the Hopkins City Council where they recognized us and proclaimed May as Mental Health Awareness Month!💚

We’re proud to be a part of such an incredible, welcoming community. Thanks to all who made this happen!😊

You are not alone! May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an opportunity to share our stories, fight the stigma, and let others know they don't have to fight mental illness alone.

At our Clubhouses, we know that healing doesn't happen in isolation - it happens in community. This month, check in on your loved ones. Share your story and lived experience. No one should suffer in silence.💚

Wow! Thank you to everyone who gave for Clubhouse Giving Day, raising over $17,000 for our Clubhouses! From the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful for your support. Each dollar donated supports the mental health recovery of our Clubhouse Members.

Although Clubhouse Giving Day might be over, OUR work isn't. As you know, recent news of funding losses puts two of our Clubhouses in grave jeopardy. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and this year's theme is relevant now more than ever: "Stigma grows in silence. Healing begins in community."

Our Clubhouses embody this theme each day--without these life-saving communities, folks isolate and suffer in silence. Please consider making a donation this month to help us keep our Clubhouse doors open: https://vailcommunities.org/donate. ❤
