Recordar también es una forma de amar. 🕯️💚

En el Día de los Mu***os honramos a quienes ya no están: con sus fotos, con flores, con su comida favorita y con las historias que todavía contamos. El duelo no tiene fecha de vencimiento, y seguir extrañando a alguien años después no significa que lo estés haciendo mal.

Si en estos días el recuerdo pesa más de lo normal, no tienes que cargarlo en soledad.

📞 Llama o envía un mensaje de texto al 988 para recibir apoyo gratuito y confidencial, las 24 horas, todos los días. Puedes empezar con: "En estos días, extraño mucho a alguien."

Every young person deserves a safe place to sleep. 💚

November is Homeless Youth Awareness Month. Too many young people in our own community are facing nights without a safe, stable place to be — and the caring adults who answer calls, listen without judgment and connect them to help can change what happens next.

That's what Contra Costa Crisis Center's volunteers and donors make possible, every single day.

Will you be part of it? Volunteer with us, or give today at https://crisis-center.org?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=cccc-2026-11&utm_content=volunteer-homeless-youth. With Help, Comes Hope.

Tag someone who'd make a great volunteer. 👇

Halloween isn't everyone's favorite night. 🎃💚

The costumes and crowds can be fun — and for some of us, the noise, the memories or simply feeling left out can make it a heavy one. Both things can be true.

Tonight, look out for each other the way neighbors do. Check on the friend who went quiet. Invite the one who said they were "fine." A small check-in can matter more than you know.

📞 If the night feels heavy, call or text 988 for free, confidential support, 24/7. You don't have to be in immediate crisis to talk with someone.

Send this to someone who should see it tonight. 🧡

Payday is still days away — and the fridge is getting empty. 💚

If putting food on the table feels harder than it should right now, you're not alone, and help is closer than you think. One free call connects you to food banks, meal programs and grocery assistance right here in Contra Costa.

Asking for food help isn't falling behind. It's what community is for.

📞 Dial 211 for free, confidential local help, 24/7. You can start with, "I need help finding food near me."

You don't need the perfect words. 💚

If someone you love is struggling, what helps most is often simple: listen more than you fix, believe what they tell you, and stay. You can ask, "What's been weighing on you?" — and let the silence be okay.

And you don't have to carry the worry alone, either. If you're not sure what to say or do next, you can reach out together.

📞 Call or text 988 for free, confidential support, 24/7. You can start with, "Someone I love is struggling, and I want to help."

They answer the call for all of us. 💚

On National First Responders Day, we thank the dispatchers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics and law enforcement officers who show up on our hardest days — calm, steady and ready to help.

We also know the weight of those days doesn't always stay at work. If you're a first responder carrying more than you let on, support is there for you, too.

📞 Call or text 988 for free, confidential support, 24/7. The people who answer everyone's calls deserve someone who answers theirs.

You don't have to wait until it's a crisis to call 988. 💚

Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious or sad. Maybe you can't quite name what's wrong — you just know you don't feel like yourself. That's enough of a reason to reach out.

Talking with someone early can keep a hard day from becoming a harder one. You don't need the right words, and you don't have to have it all figured out first.

📞 Call or text 988 for free, confidential support, 24/7. You can start with, "I don't know if this is a big deal, but…"

Save this post — the number is here when you, or someone you love, needs it. 💚
