🔹You Can Give the Gift of Hope 🔹
Grief affects so many people in our community — children, teens, adults, and families who are trying to find their way after the death of a loved one. No one should have to walk that journey alone.
Our free peer-led grief support programming offers connection and a safe space to navigate grief after loss. And today, we’re inviting caring community partners to join us as program sponsors.
Your sponsorship helps provide:
💙 Free ongoing grief support groups, workshops, and seminars for adults
💙 Programs designed specifically for kids and teens
💙 Community education and outreach
💙Resources that help rebuild after loss
When you sponsor, you’re not just giving funds — you’re giving hope, healing, and a place to land during life’s hardest moments.

🔹Stand with us. Support healing. Make a difference.

Thankful for this lady right here, a friend and the founder of The DRE Project, and also one of our awesome ongoing group facilitators for our virtual Loss of Parent, Family, and Friends grief support group. The DRE project also provides our pizza for every monthly Family Friday which is happening tonight. Thank you Jennifer Jackson for all your support!💜

Grief can change what we notice in the world. Our founder, Jennifer "JJ" Jackson, started The DRE Project in honor of her sister Dre, turning love into grocery support for neighbors. See our story at https://thedreproject.org

Join us for a live viewing of the 2026 National Alliance for Children’s Grief Webcast focused on Trauma-Responsive Grief Support for Youth & Families Impacted by Homicide Deaths.

This free, 3.5-hour educational event features presenters Samantha Anthony, Sam Middleton, and Katherine Streit from the Uplift Center for Grieving Children in Philadelphia. Together, they will explore how systemic and historic oppression shapes homicide-related grief, trauma-responsive and culturally grounded support strategies, and grief responses that may emerge across the lifespan for survivors of violence.

Although New Hope does not provide peer support programming for anticipatory grievers, the information and tools are very beneficial as you may care for others.
