A little slower. A little safer. πŸ’™πŸ§‘

We recently added speed bumps and additional signs to our parking lot to encourage slower driving and help keep participants, visitors, and staff safe as they come and go.

Caring for our grieving community includes making the path to our doors safer, too.

Thank you to Springfield Stripping & Sealing for your expertise and help with these improvements!

Navigating grief can be hard. It can feel lonely, but there is beauty in finding a community of people to walk with you. Our therapeutic grief support groups, offered at no cost, provide help, hope, and healing for all ages.

Thank you, Katie, for sharing about your experience and for being part of the Lost & Found Grief Center community.πŸ’™πŸ§‘

When families come for an orientation tour at Lost & Found Grief Center, we offer them a custom blanket. We are thankful for the incredible volunteers who create these. Recently, Vicki Plunkett, Denise Swain, and Janey Combs dropped off some new blankets.

This volunteer opportunity came about through the Give 5 program, which introduces retirees to serving opportunities in our community.

Thank you, Vicki, Denise, and Janey, for these beautiful blankets that bring help, hope, and healing to grieving families.

We are so thankful for the many ways the Lost & Found Junior Board steps up to support our mission. This fall, they have helped raise awareness and funds to support grieving families. πŸ§‘πŸ’™

On Sunday, September 27, our Junior Board (and their friends) hosted GameDay 2026, and earlier this month, they collaborated with Lucid TLC for the Chalk Art contest in Nixa.

Throughout the year, the Junior Board shares their time, talent, and heart for what we do. They truly make a difference, often behind the scenes. πŸ§‘πŸ’™

We are so thankful for this group of young leaders!

Watch for more GameDay photos tomorrow!!

"There weren't 12 strangers who supported me in my grief before I came to Lost & Found." πŸ’™πŸ§‘

Sometimes, the people who understand your grief best are the ones you haven't met yet. This participant's words are a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.

At Lost & Found Grief Center, our therapeutic grief support groups bring people together who share the experience of loss. Through connection, understanding, and the support of others, strangers become friends, and grief becomes something you don't have to carry alone.

No one should grieve alone.

Lost & Found Grief Center is here to provide help, hope, healing, and connection. πŸ’™πŸ§‘

πŸ’™πŸ§‘ It takes a team to reflect hope!

Lost & Found Grief Center serves hundreds of grieving children, adults, and families in our community each year. Behind that impact is a dedicated team working together to provide help, hope, and healing through professional grief support services.

Last week, members of our Board of Directors, Junior Board, and staff gathered for an evening of connection and an opportunity to get to know one another beyond our usual roles at Lost & Found.

Together, our 18 Board members, 10 Junior Board members, and 12 staff members bring unique perspectives, talents, and experiences to our mission.

Gatherings like this remind us of the unique contributions we each bring to our mission and the greater impact we can make together.

We're grateful for everyone who gives their time, talent, and heart to ensure no one has to grieve alone! πŸ’™πŸ§‘

Thank you especially to our Board and Junior Board for giving back to Lost & Found Grief Center with your time, heart and compassion!
