On September 17, 2026, Staunton Farm Foundation hosted our first Pause with Purpose event, a restorative half-day designed for the dedicated staff of our nonprofit grantee partners.

Together, more than 100 behavioral health and substance use disorder (SUD) professionals stepped away from the day’s demands to recharge, reconnect, and refocus. We enjoyed yoga, sound baths, massage therapy, health screenings, financial guidance, and more. We also explored resource tables and other opportunities designed to support the people who spend their days supporting others.
