The Compassionate Friends (TCF) is a nonprofit, peer support organization that offers friendship, understanding, and hope to families who have experienced the death of a child, at any age and from any cause.
Our Walla Walla chapter welcomes bereaved parents, grandparents, and siblings into a safe, caring community where grief can be spoken and carried together.
Mission: To provide highly personal comfort, peer support, and resources to help families rebuild their lives after the death of a child, sibling, or grandchild.
