THAT DAYCOMMUNITY CORNER

CONNECTION CHANGES THINGS

Safe spaces.
Unexpected
places.

A moment of kindness. A familiar face. A place to feel heard. Community can begin with something small.

That Day Community Corner brings people together through mental health education, peer-led support and everyday acts of care.

WHY THAT DAY?

Because one day
can become a
turning point.

We all have a “that day.” A moment when life shifts, when we need support, or when someone shows up.

Founded in Bensalem by Christina, Ethan, and Gabby, That Day Community Corner is a Pennsylvania nonprofit built around connection, mental health awareness and belonging.

We create opportunities for people to feel seen and heard, with a special commitment to veterans and first responders. Our community welcomes people from all walks of life.

Sometimes a safe space is a conversation. Sometimes it’s a comfort friend or a thoughtful collection of everyday essentials. It can begin wherever people care for one another.

Small moments. Meaningful connection.

01

People before labels.

We begin with the person, their voice and their lived experience.

02

Connection without judgment.

Honest conversations make room for understanding, comfort and support.

03

Care that meets people.

We bring our mission into everyday community spaces and partnerships.

ONE MISSION. DIFFERENT WAYS TO CONNECT.

Find your
corner of community.

Two initiatives. One shared belief: small acts of care can help people feel less alone.

FAMILY, LIVED EXPERIENCE & HOPE

“This too
shall pass.”

Our story is shaped by family, lived experience and a commitment to breaking cycles of generational trauma.

For Christina, that work is deeply personal. March 2027 marks ten years since she lost her mother to suicide. The words on her forearm, “This too shall pass,” are words her mother used to say. Her tattoo carries that reminder with her.

We believe people deserve understanding, connection and a place to be heard. That belief guides Christina’s work with TDCC and her volunteer service with NAMI Montgomery County PA.

Facilitate. Educate. Present.
