A donation of $35 is asked, however no one is turned away due to low or no funds.
The Pitman chapter of the Helping Other People Evolve (H.O.P.E.) will be hosting its first of ten sessions on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at Pitman United Methodist Church at 7:00 p.m. for those who have lost loved ones and are seeking grievance support.
H.O.P.E. is a nonprofit providing grief support for surviving spouses across New Jersey.
