Support, Hope & Connection through Life’s Hardest Moments
The MRP Project provides signature comfort bags, a one-on-one grief-support mentoring program, and a program for parents who want to raise resilient kids.
You’re Not Meant to Go Through it Alone
Grief can leave people feeling overwhelmed and not sure of what comes next. The MRP Projects connects people with support, resources to help navigate difficult times and find hope along the way.
Whether you’re experiencing a loss yourself or supporting someone who is going through a hard time, we’re here to help. Check out our programs below.
Community Support, Grief Mentoring, and Resilience Program
The MRP Project offers three programs to provide hope through social support and mentoring.
Bags for a Boost
Bags for a Boost are care packages for adults. Do you know someone who is grieving, facing an illness, or going through a difficult time? Bags for a boost are filled with comfort items to remind people they are not alone. Learn more about this program. Want to nominate someone for a bag or donate items? Contact us!
Moving Forward Mentoring
Moving Forward Mentoring provides one-on-one peer mentoring support for people navigating life after the loss of a spouse or partner. Connect with someone who understands the experience of loss and can offer a listening ear, encouragement, and support as you find your way forward. Schedule an appointment.
Raising Resilient Kids
Raising Resilient Kids is an educational program that gives parents practical tools to help children cope with adversity. The goal is for children to be able to positively and productively overcome life’s obstacles. Learn more about this program or watch our video.
Our Story: Turning Loss into Support for Others
The MRP Project was born from one family’s experience with devastating loss. After Kristen Pedroli Pierce lost her husband, Michael, in a car accident in 2016, she experienced firsthand how meaningful it can be to know that people want to lend their support during a difficult time. During the Christmas season, a large package showed up at her door. Kristen assumed it was a Christmas gift she purchased for her boys. But it wasn’t! Inside the package, Kristen found the bag filled with the most amazing items. Learn more.
