One to One Bereavement Supports 
VON provides one to one telephone bereavement supports by trained volunteers. We offer a safe environment to grieving individuals where they can speak openly about their feelings. Each individual can expect to receive a weekly call from a trained volunteer once a match has been made.  

Understanding Grief- educational presentations 
This is a presentation on the fundamentals of grief, including how best to support someone you know who is experiencing grief.  Presentations are being offered through Zoom at 11:00 am on the last Thursday of each month.  Registration required.

No charge to attend; Pre-registration is required.
