Description

Bri’s Lodge, a program of What Would Bri Do, is looking forward to our annual Evening of Hope on April 1, 2023. Our event will include a dinner, cash bar, silent auction, guest speakers, short program, games of chance, door prizes, and music!  

Bri’s Lodge is a local non-profit committed to helping individuals cope with loss, support their healing, nurture physical and emotional well-being and bring hope for the future, believing that no one should grieve alone. Bri’s Lodge is committed to building a healing lodge in Central, MN. This space will be a weekend retreat center for individuals and families in similar situations to gather and begin to heal after a loss.

Recently, Bri’s Lodge moved into a temporary location in St. Cloud to better serve those in our community that are in need of grief resources. We currently are offering multiple services to those we support. These include 1:1 Companioning and two support groups; general loss and veterans. Bri’s Lodge works in collaboration with the Veteran Resource Enrichment Center to support our veterans. In the near future, we will be offering “Healing Through the Five Senses” activities such as art and music therapy and kids’ crafts and movie nights. Lastly, we will implement a retreat program that will include day and weekend retreats. 

To reach this milestone, we need caring individuals and businesses committed to supporting our neighbors, friends, and community through times of loss. With your help, we can create a safe space so that no one in Central MN grieves alone.

To prepare for our Evening of Hope we are asking for donated items for our silent auction. The funds raised from this event will go directly to providing support to those in our community that are in need of assistance through their grief journey. 

Thank you in advance for your commitment to our community. Your support is needed and greatly appreciated.
