Come help us support this wonderful cause while having an enjoyable evening at Vinegar Hill! Offering their services for free, for as long as people need them, the Center’s mission is to provide loving support that encourages the safe expression of grief and loss and fosters each individual’s resilience and emotional well-being. The Center reaches individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, and relies on financial contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations, United Way, and special events like this one. The Center is a 501(c) 3 organization. Gary Crocker, Maine Humorist, and the CIEE House Band are teaming up to support the Center for Grieving Children as well for a beautiful evening of music, conversation, community, and comedy!
