He Meet, Greet & Eat! – The Ripple Effect Teen Meet-Up

Join us for a fun, welcoming afternoon created especially for teens ages 13–18 who have experienced the loss of a parent or parental figure.

Grief can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. This meet-up is a chance to connect with others who truly understand, share some laughs, enjoy good food, and simply be yourself — no pressure, no awkwardness, just support and community.

✨ What to expect:
Walking Taco Bar
Sweet Treats
Bottled Water
Music
Water Balloon Fight
Fun Craft Activity
Connection, laughter & good vibes

Whether your loss was recent or years ago, you belong here. No matter the circumstance of loss — addiction, overdose, illness, cancer, sudden loss, or something hard to explain — this space is for you.

Feel free to bring lawn chairs or blankets! Picnic tables are available, but bringing your own comfy setup is welcome.
