We are so lucky to have such amazing community partners in Kingston! BFO-Kingston received a Community Outreach Grant from Rotary Club of Kingston to help us provide 200 Bereavement Care Packages to both Limestone District School Board and Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. Last week our Executive Director, Lisa, delivered these Care Packages to the School Boards, who will provide them to staff at each school. The schools will then give them to a student when they experience the death of someone close to them. The Care Packages are full of tools and resources to help the students and their families as they deal with their grief. Thank you to Rotary and both School Boards for helping us support these students at a difficult time! We couldn't do it without you.

Bereaved Families of Ontario Kingston Region offers peer grief support to those who have experienced the death of someone important in their life through programs, services and resources based on a mutual support model to individuals, families, children, groups and communities.

They are a 2026 Community Outreach Grant recipient of $1,387. The grant money will be put towards grief support, targeting children and teens. The money will help to provide a care package for schools to give to students when it is known that there has been a death in the family. Included in the package are things such as a stress ball, a journal or activity booklet, pencil crayons and an electric candle.

Executive Director of BFO Kingston Lisa Cassidy showed off the care package and received the ceremonial cheque from Rotary Club of Kingston President Mark Siemons.
