BridgingLife hosts a number of programs and grief support groups to help the community learn about end-of-life care and coping strategies after the loss of a loved one.
In addition, BridgingLife hosts several special events to raise funds in support of our mission to improve the quality of life of those facing life-limiting illness and their families. These fundraisers help us provide services to all those in need, regardless of their financial situation.
