New families are encouraged to come and learn more about the Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Group which has been helping families in Cape May County for twenty years.
Marilou Rochford, FCHS Educator, said, “Coffee Fridays are a way to provide grandparents with a chance to meet with others, who are in the same situation, in a relaxed atmosphere where they can share their experiences. Our grandparents are able to unwind over a cup of coffee while discussing issues and concerns related to raising their grandchildren.”
Grandparents are invited to come learn about some of the resources and support available to them and also share their thoughts and concerns. Additional Coffee Fridays are scheduled for February 22, March 22, May 17, September 20, October 18, and November 22, 2019.
