On Saturday, April 27, Interfaith Social Services is hosting the 45th Annual Stop the Stigma 5K to support our loved ones who are affected by mental illness and addiction. Through the event, we hope to challenge stereotypes, encourage acceptance and eliminate stigma associated with mental illness. All funds from this event support Interfaith's New Directions Counseling Center. New Directions offers compassionate and skilled counseling to to everyone, including those who would otherwise not be able to afford mental health counseling. 

The 5K route features beautiful views of the Boston skyline as seen from the Squantum and Marina Bay regions of Quincy, MA. There will be post-race festivities which will include games and activities, a Kids' Fun Run, food, music, raffles and much more!
