Honoring Love, Holding Loss: A Holiday Grief Gathering

December 21, 2025 @ 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Join us for a special holiday drive where grieving families can connect and bond with free food and fun activities.

Honoring Love, Holding Loss: A Holiday Grief Gathering

Hosted by 2.18 Vision

Part of our annual Holiday Drive & Daughters Connect initiative

The holiday season can feel different when someone we love is no longer here. This gathering is a gentle space to reflect, breathe, honor our loved ones, and be supported by community. There is no program to perform, no expectation to speak — simply a place to come as you are.

This gathering is open to anyone experiencing grief, whether your loss is recent or from years past. You are welcome to sit quietly, connect with others, or simply receive the warmth of shared presence.

Special Recognition

As part of our Daughters Connect tradition, we will hold a tender moment to honor daughters who have lost their fathers in 2025. Each daughter will receive a special gift and acknowledgment of her journey through this first season of “different.”

If you know a daughter who has lost her father this year, you may nominate her to receive a gift here: Click here to nominate for a free gift

What to Expect

  • Soft music and grounding reflection
  • Space to share (optional)

We honor your presence.

We honor your story.

We honor the love that continues.
