Supporting the healing journey that follows loss
the giving plate
Across all cultures, we console the grieving with food. The giving plate is a special gift for those grieving a loss. It provides a meaningful and memorable experience in the midst of life’s hardest moments. Share your story in the plate’s travel journal and pass it on to the next person in need of comfort. Each plate has a unique number to allow recipients to track the plate’s journey as it travels between family and friends.
