Thank you to the team from Genesis Products Goshen Plant 10 for volunteering at Ryan’s Place! 💙

It was especially meaningful to see families serving together…parents and children side by side, giving their time and hearts to support other families in our community.

Your willingness to show up and share smiles helps us continue creating a safe, welcoming space for the children and families we serve.

Thank you, Genesis Plant 10, for standing with us and investing in hope and healing. When families serve together, our whole community grows stronger. 🌟

There’s something powerful about giving children a safe space to create, connect, and simply be kids. 💛

At Ryan’s Place, hands stay busy and hearts stay open. Whether they’re painting, building, creating music or something uniquely their own, these moments help children express feelings that can sometimes be hard to put into words.

Through activities like these, friendships are formed, confidence grows, and healing gently unfolds

We are so grateful to provide a place where kids can create, connect, and feel supported every step of the way in our “home for healing hearts” 💙

Remembering with Love ❤️

This Valentine’s Day, we hold space for the love that never leaves.

At Ryan’s Place, our children and families honor and remember the loved ones who are forever in their hearts. Through shared stories, laughter, tears and even handmade Valentine crowns, we are reminded that grief and love can exist together.

Love doesn’t end. It changes, it grows, and it continues in the memories we cherish and the connections we keep.

Today, we remember. We celebrate. We love.

We are incredibly grateful to Ranger Distribution Inc. for serving a meal at Ryan’s Place for our Monday night groups.

Your commitment to “Giving Without Expectations” was felt in such a meaningful way by the children, teens, and families we serve. Providing a meal is more than nourishment…it creates comfort, connection, and a reminder that our community truly cares.

Thank you for showing up, for serving with heart, and for supporting healing in our community. We are so thankful for partners like you. 💙

Tonight, our Ranger Distribution team had the privilege of being onsite at Ryan’s Place and providing a meal for their Monday night groups.

“Giving without Expectations” isn’t just something we say - it’s something we strive to live out in the communities where we live and work.

We are proud to support Ryan's Place, an organization that provides grief support and healing after loss for children, teens, adults, and families. Through peer support groups, resources, and a safe place to process grief, Ryan’s Place helps individuals navigate some of life’s hardest moments - reminding them they are not alone.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve, and even more grateful for the work Ryan’s Place does every day for our community. 💙

We had a full house at Ryan’s Place as Registered Play Therapist Supervisors Krystal Kalb-Weldy and Darlene Radcliff led an interactive training designed to equip attendees with creative approaches for supporting grieving youth through play, music, art, movement, and thoughtfully designed spaces. It was a fun morning engaging in the power of play!
