More to Come
What’s better than a creamy,
steamy bowl of mac and cheese?
Oodles of ooey, gooey yumminess
will be yours for the taking at
The BIG Cheese S-mac-K Down.
Mac-n-cheese is the world’s most
beloved comfort food and since
The Hope & Healing Place is in
the business of providing comfort
to the people it serves, a comfort
food cook off was the perfect fit.
Just as grief can be experienced in
numerous ways, the ingredient
combinations for mac-n-cheese
recipes are endless.
Come hungry and ready to nosh
on these scrumptious samples of
love wrapped in cheese.
Everyone gets to play a part as
there will be a People’s Choice and
Kid’s Choice award. Kids can
create macaroni art as they pay
homage to their favorite
dish in the Marble Depot
Kid’s Corner. Or cheese it
up in the Happy State Bank
Say Cheese photo booth
as you show your silly side.
Will Macaroni Joe’s keep
their 2015 title of The Big
Cheese? Or will one of the
contenders deliver a knockout punch after concocting the
perfect pairing of macaroni and
cheese? There is only one way to
find out—come and taste for
yourself!

“Grief never
ends...But it changes.
It’s a passage, not a
place to stay. Grief is
not a sign of
weakness, nor a lack
of faith...It is the
price of love.”

There is no set fee for our
services as we want to assure
that everyone has access to
them - that’s why fundraisers
like The BIG Cheese are so
important to our agency.
Mission: A safe place to promote the healing journey for
grieving children, families, and individuals.
Death is a hard subject. Most people want to avoid it; yet, it
is a 100% reality in life. Everyone must face the pain or fear
of loss from death. The good news is, because of grief centers
like The Hope & Healing Place no one has to face death’s
aftermath alone. Help is available for healthy healing.
HHP is honored to stand with those who have experienced a
family or peer death in their pain, listen to their stories,
empathize, and show them that they are not alone in the
emotions they are feeling by introducing them to others
experiencing the same type loss as well as offer them the
necessary tools to help them embrace their new “normal”
without the loved one in their life on a daily basis. The center
reaches out to different target audiences by offering a family
programs, an outreach program with Faith City Ministries,
Pregnancy/Infant Loss group, Survivors of Suicide support
group and a summer camp for children. Overall, we provide
resources to help you deal with, and eventually heal from,
what may well be the worst pain you will ever feel.
Volunteers are an integral
part of HHP and serve as the
heart of our programs. The
center offers a variety of rewarding opportunities for
generous and compassionate people who want to make
a difference in the lives of grieving children, teens and
adults. One of the primary volunteer opportunities that
the center offers is that of Group Facilitator for our Generations, Journeys, Survivors of Suicide or Hope Camp
programs.
Opportunities to volunteer or donate are available on
our website: www.hhpamarillo.org
How We Help
Generations Family Program: Shared feelings enrich and lead to growth and healing. Death impacts the entire
family, therefore the whole family attends age appropriate support groups to learn share and heal. HHP enrolls
15 to 20 families in each family class. The group has two program cycles annually (January – May and August –
December).
Heartprints Infant Loss Support Group: The death of an infant impacts parents and grandparents at the deepest
level. "Heartprints" provides the support, sharing, and encouragement needed by young families.
SOS Survivors of Suicide: Healing support for people coping with the shock, excruciating grief and complex
emotions that accompany the loss of a loved one to suicide. This is a closed group that meets weekly for eight
total sessions.
Hope Camp: Children going into Kindergarten through 6th grade are invited to attend Hope Camp this summer
to be able to express their feelings in a safe environment while participating in crafts, games, and activities.
