Building On Hope
To continue keeping our doors open to everyone in need, last year we launched BUILDING ON HOPE, a 3-year campaign to purchase and rehab the house next door. Click below to find out how you can help.
Volunteers Needed
We are always looking for individuals or groups to help with maintenance and projects around our "charming little houses on Grand."
The Center is also adding to its volunteer base through helpers with fundraising events, clerical support, marketing, and fundraising. Please contact us with ways you can help.
Therapy Groups
The Center for Grief offers therapy groups designed to provide a safe and supportive setting for people to share their loss journey with others. These groups are facilitated by Center therapists and provide an opportunity for participants to explore the impact the loss has had and continues to have on their lives.
