Rhode Island’s only bereavement center dedicated to serving children and teens, ages three to eighteen, and their families.
Friends Way is proud to take part in 401 Gives on March 31 & April 1!
This statewide day of giving brings Rhode Islanders together in support of the nonprofits that strengthen our communities. When you give to Friends Way during 401 Gives, you help ensure that grieving children and families receive free, compassionate, and ongoing bereavement support. Every gift—no matter the size—makes a meaningful impact.
Thank you for helping us continue this critical work!

Mackenzie’s Story
“it didn’t take long to realize that, as they are in their group, we sit around as a group of parents, who are all experiencing the same thing with our children. We’re in the same boat. We can lean on each other.”
