Hello Friends,
We regret to inform you that Helena Community Connections, Inc. has decided to cease offering programming. This includes Bridges Buffet, My Destiny, Cranium Café, and Gentle Ways. The decision to discontinue our offerings was not easy, but we hope to re-organize at a future date to help people chart their pathway to purposeful aging. We can’t fully express our deep gratitude for your participation and support over the past 7 years.
All of us involved with HCC have enjoyed our relationships with sponsors including area churches and businesses, Montana AARP, and all who encouraged us by attending program offerings. These programs would not have been as successful as they were without your support and loyalty. Thank you for being a part of our Helena Community Connections family in all its ups and downs.
Sincerely,
HCC Board Members

Helena Community Connections has suspended all of its programming effective February, 2022. Our hope is to resume in-person events and classes as soon as we are able to gather together in a safe and responsible manner. Watch for e-mails and updates on our website or page regarding the re-starting of our community program offerings. Our sincere thanks to everyone for your continued support.
