Over the summer, teams from Bona Vita Benefits and Wiss assembled shelves, organized materials and helped set up Imagine’s new Newark center. Bona Vita Benefits also donated $2,500.
At the Mountainside center, Komar employees cleaned and organized spaces for returning families. The company also contributed $10,000. Laundrysmith of Springfield cleaned linens and stuffed animals used in the center’s programs.
“We are incredibly grateful for the financial support we receive from our corporate partners, but there is something especially meaningful about seeing people walk through our doors, give their time, and become part of preparing these spaces for our families,” said Imagine Executive Director Lindsay Schambach.
Imagine provides free, year-round grief support groups for children ages 3–18 and young adults ages 19–30 coping with a death. Support groups are also available for participating children’s parents and caregivers, with services offered in English and Spanish. The organization has centers in Mountainside and Newark and offers virtual groups.
