The Bell of Hope is a 300 pound bell that rings out hope for improving mental health and achieving victory over mental illness. 

In 2007 the Bell came to visit Genesee County for May is Mental Health Month.  During a week long display at the City Church Generation Center, the bell facinated people at the Mental Health Associations Annual Meeting, the Genesee County Interagency Luncheon, and a community "open house."

Millie Tomidy, Executive Director of the MHA in Genesee County poses with Mary Jane Finkney, Board President, and Judge Balbick at the Bell of Hope "Open House" on Friday, May 18th.

The Genesee County Interagency Council met in May at the Generation Center which provided an opportunity for the Mental Health Association to educated several community agencies about the Bell of Hope.
