Do you have a passion for cooking, baking, and feeding your community? Do you enjoy reaching out to support your community in times of need? Then come help support our Enduring Ties support group through your generous donation of food and time!

In collaboration with New Song Center for Grieving Children, we host a bereavement support group for the families of Ryan House who have lost a child to assist their transition to the future. Enduring Ties, the name of the bereavement support group, is held twice a month and is a very important time for the parents and siblings as they go through different workshops each session to learn to cope. The dinner is served from 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. and is used as a time for the families to socialize with one another and celebrate any upcoming events important to the families.

Guidelines:

• Dinner can be prepared in advance and heated in the kitchen or you can cook it from scratch.
