WHAT YOUR DONATIONS GO TOWARDS:
There are no dues or fees to belong to The Compassionate Friends. Just as our chapter is run entirely by volunteers interested in helping bereaved families, your voluntary, tax-deductible donations make it possible for us to mail this monthly newsletter, contact newly bereaved parents, continue our participation in TCF National, and meet other chapter expenses. Often, as they find hope and healing within the group, parents contribute, usually in memory of a child who has died, or a gift of thanksgiving for their surviving children. These contributions are our only source of funds. It is a meaningful way to honor our children and we are grateful to members who can contribute their generous support.

OK...WE NEED HELP!!! We will be needing people willing to let the world know what we are up to with Publicity, people to reach out to Funeral Homes and present information to newly bereaved parents, a person to tend to our Chapter Library and a person interested in being our Newsletter Editor. Are you ready to help? We could really use the help. Our chapter is only as good as the volunteers who work to make it a safe and supportive place for our bereaved families. Please contact Kathie Kelly at 540-220-4325 or Jill Medina at 540-538-0112 about anything you might be able to do or email us at tcffred@gmail.com.
