How We Create Impact
Joel’s Place provides grief support for school-aged children and their families who experience the death of someone special in their lives. We meet twice per month during the school year for a pizza dinner and peer grief support groups, and offer a Butterfly Release every Summer.
How You Can Help

Donate a Pizza Dinner


Support Our Butterfly Release


Donate to Our Family Memory Project
Sponsor a Grieving Family
Families come to us looking for grief support for children and their caregivers. Many of our adults are now single parents, or aunts, uncles, or grandparents who now have custody of a grieving child. This will help provide expressive arts activities, dinners and other items that support our families



My wife died suddenly; my daughter and I lost our best friend. It was the summer before my daughter started high school, and now I was a single parent. We both went to individual counselors and heard about Joel’s Place for Children. Joel’s Place was welcoming from Day One! Meeting other families in the same or similar situation was a comfort. In our group, we can laugh and cry from places of deep empathy, with the goal of ‘keep moving forward’. I can’t say enough good things about the wonderful people at Joel’s Place for Children.
