South Haven’s Rotary Club is stepping up to support an organization that provides loving grief support and counseling to those who are suffering the death of a loved one.
A grant of $5,000 was recently presented to Lory’s Place of St. Joseph in support of the creation of the new Supportive Care Office where adults and children receive specialized help in overcoming the grief of losing a loved one. This new office is part of a major expansion project at Lory’s Place.
Founded in 2004, Lory’s Place has helped thousands of children, adults and families find their way through grief with a no-cost service. Several areaaRotary Clubs have supported Lory’s Place projects and programs over the years.
“During the last three years, more than 225 children from South Haven and several thousand from surrounding areas have been served by Lory’s Place during their time of greatest need,” said South Haven Rotary President Bill Roberts. “Our support fits perfectly into a Rotary goal of helping initiatives that better the quality of life for our citizens, especially during difficult times.”
The Rotary Club of South Haven, with support from the Rotary International Foundation (District 6360), in the past year has contributed more than $56,000 to community, regional and international humanitarian projects.
