GRASP – Grief Recovery After a Substance Passing – provides sources of help, compassion and, most of all, understanding for individuals and families who have experienced the death of a loved one due to drug use.  If you’ve lost someone you love to drug or alcohol use, don’t grieve alone.

This group meets the 3rd Saturday of each month at 1:00pm at the Foundations for Franklin County Office.

There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is requested prior to your first meeting.  Please call 636-288-9856 or email FCMOGRASP@outlook.com to connect with group facilitators Sarah and Tom.

The CDC reports that 20% of people aged 55+ experience mental health issues. Access to structured programs can significantly help manage these concerns. We’ve developed a guide discussing mental health conditions in seniors and housing and care options.

This online resource for Seniors 55 and over provides information about mental health concerns for this population.  There are also links to help people find adequate support for their senior loved ones in the Franklin County Community.

What is given out?
Every family that comes through will receive roughly the same amount; family size has no bearing on the amount they will receive.
No worries, it is usually a lot!
How does it run?
St. Louis Area Foodbank brings food to the various locations the day of distributions. Clients line up in their cars and volunteers assist
with the repackaging and distribution. The clients do not even have to get out of their cars!
What if it’s cancelled?
This is an OUTDOOR distribution, which means weather is a primary factor when considering cancellations. A general rule we follow
is if schools are closed, MM is closed. Cancellations can happen for several reasons. Weather, truck issues, volunteer support, in any
instance we will follow the same protocol for the cancellation. An agency wide email will be sent out as soon as the decision is made,
an email will be sent to all clients who are sign up on the list, our Facebook page will have the cancellation information.
