CSV Richmond is hosting the 6th annual Hospice Food Drive to benefit Feed More, a food bank dedicated to fighting hunger in Central Virginia. These hospice groups are participating in raising food donations; the hospice group that raises the most food donations by weight will win a trophy and breakfast or lunch for the entire team, provided by us!
This year, nine hospice groups are participating, the most so far. It means so much that every year this effort grows!

Saturday is National Grief Awareness Day, recognized annually on August 30. It's a time to reflect on how we all cope with loss differently, and learn how to help yourself and others through the grieving process, no matter what type of loss you've been through.
If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, we offer The 12 Weeks of Peace, a free, online bereavement series available to everyone.

“Living with the loss of a child is a never-ending journey. Finding help shouldn’t be a burden, too," said Rob Reider, cofounder and executive director of the Sad Dads Club, which supports dads who have endured death of a baby during pregnancy, labor or within the first few weeks after birth. The group also welcomes fathers who have lost children to sudden infant death syndrome and those who have lost older and even adult children.

After Brad Bailey buried his stillborn son, his wife encouraged him to join Sad Dads Club, a nonprofit with peer-to-peer community and support for bereaved fathers.

At the 2025 “Living Your Dash” luncheon, CSV Richmond Service Manager Callaghan Derringer and her team were the Remembrance sponsor, providing heart-shaped cards for families who have lost a loved one so they could share their person’s name. The local Full Circle Grief Center holds the luncheon every year to raise money for free grief support.

CSV Richmond partners with Family Lifeline, and donated lunch bags for this year’s Friendly Baskets of Cheer, which they fill with food and give to members of the community. This year, the donations provided allowed them to fill the bags with fresh fruit during the holiday season.

We've kicked off CSV Richmond's fifth annual – we're once again competing with local hospice groups to see who can collect the most food for those in need in our community. Anyone who would like to donate can drop off nonperishable food at our office: 7542 West Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23294, or call 804-494-5848. The food will all be donated to Feed More, our local food bank.
