The next NAYP Party with a Purpose will be at Packard’s in Northampton. A Northampton landmark for years, Packard’s is home to food cooked to order, excellent atmosphere, and a great bar. Chef’s choice appetizers will be available, as will a cash bar.
At this month’s event, the featured non-profit organization is The Garden: A Center for Grieving Children and Teens exists to provide support groups & grief education to grieving children, teens and their families whose lives have been disrupted by death; and to offer professional, community education and training in a grief support model.
The Garden is the bereavement program of the Hampshire Regional YMCA, in Northampton.
The Garden has been serving an average of 25 families per year in our year long groups at no charge for as long as they may need the support. They also provide consultation to school districts in crisis after the death of a student or staff member.
