Building On Hope
To continue keeping our doors open to everyone in need, last year we launched BUILDING ON HOPE, a 3-year campaign to purchase and rehab the house next door. Click below to find out how you can help.
Volunteers Needed
We are always looking for individuals or groups to help with maintenance and projects around our "charming little houses on Grand."
The Center is also adding to its volunteer base through helpers with fundraising events, clerical support, marketing, and fundraising. Please contact us with ways you can help.
Building On Hope
Since our founding in 1996, the Center for Grief, Loss and Transition’s social justice commitment has been to have our doors open to anyone experiencing significant loss.
We have journeyed with hundreds of people going through the most difficult times in their lives by providing compassionate, professional, and accessible therapy. However, with the growth we’ve experienced over recent years, we outgrew our home’s capacity.

To continue keeping our doors open to everyone in need, last year we launched BUILDING ON HOPE, a 3-year campaign to purchase and rehab the house next door. Thanks to so many of you, our first year went really well. BUILDING ON HOPE raised enough initial funds for our down payment and early rehab including a new roof, a second wheelchair accessible therapy room and painting the house inside and out.
This additional space allows us to more than double the individuals and families we serve, and it has bigger spaces for play therapy, groups, and workshop. But, our rehab needs continue. A wheelchair accessible bathroom and energy efficient windows are our current priorities and we need your financial help.
Please consider giving or continuing to give to BUILDING ON HOPE year two. Your gift ensures that anyone in the twin cities who has experienced a tragic loss can receive immediate help in an accessible, warm and healing environment.
Together we support people on their hardest of journeys.
Please contact Gayle Sherman Crandell, MA, LPCC, for more information on BUILDING ON HOPE.
