2025 Annual Report Snapshot

Dear Erin’s House Community,

As we look back on 2025, I’m incredibly grateful for everything we made possible together. Last year marked meaningful milestones for Erin’s House, including valuable learning through staff development at Judi’s House, the success of our Be The Light campaign, and the ribbon cutting and official opening of The Wing. Additionally, we continued providing free programs, camps, resources, and education to families throughout our community. We remain dedicated to supporting families wherever they are in their journey and adapting to meet their needs.

Learning & Leadership with Judi’s House

As part of the continuing support made possible through the Lilly Endowment grant, 10 full-time Erin’s House staff members had the opportunity to visit and learn from Judi’s House, a grief support center for youth in Aurora, Colorado. Our team shadowed their staff, exchanged ideas, and experienced one of their unique, research-based program nights firsthand while observing groups in action. We also toured their beautiful facility, gathering inspiration as we continue enhancing our own spaces to best serve our families.

New Volunteers Making a Difference

This past summer’s Be The Light volunteer recruitment campaign was an incredible success, and we are so grateful for the community members who stepped forward to serve. Because of their commitment, more families will have access to consistent, compassionate support in our programs, and we are thankful to our volunteers for answering the call. While the campaign has ended, we are still welcoming new Facilitators, House Parents, and Babysitters to our volunteer family!

Because of your ongoing support, we can continue to be present for more young hearts as they navigate grief. We are truly thankful to have you as a vital part of our mission, supporting families, strengthening programs, and nurturing a community built on compassion. Thank you for your continued commitment.

With gratitude,

Debbie Meyer

Executive Director
