Grief Kits contain books, activities, and resources to support children as young as toddlers to school age, and their caregivers in their grieving journey. Find Grief Kits in the Parenting section of your nearest MCDL branch.
Grief Kits are brought to you in collaboration with Waite & Son Funeral Homes, in memory of Noah Elliot Taylor.
