CONNECTION IS ESSENTIAL
to our health & well-being
We’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation.
Retreat Farm provides a critical common that is free and accessible to everyone, 365 days a year.
Social connection is as essential to our long-term survival as food and water. But today, loneliness is more widespread than other major health issues in the U.S.*
Please give today to support Retreat Farm’s work of caring and holding space for connections of all kinds.
