In September 2022, TRUST Inc will be replacing The Grief Coalition with “The Conversation Cafe”.  Our facilitator retired during Covid and we have not had a staff replacement.  A place for people to share the many facets of grief we have all experienced in the past two years of COVID precautions and isolations.  The Conversation Cafe offers a small group setting for people to gather and share life, health & wellness and do some volunteering together. 

Conversation Cafe has moved to the second Wednesday of each month.
