Supporting the healing journey that follows loss, one thoughtful gift at a time.
The Giving Plate
In all cultures, food is a universal comfort in times of grief. The Giving Plate is a thoughtful gift created for those experiencing loss, offering a meaningful and memorable way to show care during difficult moments.
Each plate includes access to a shared online travel journal, where receipients can reflect, share their story, and then pass the plate along to the next person seeking comfort. Every Giving Plate is uniquely numbered, allowing its journey to be tracked as it moves from one home to another.
