Koch Funeral Home has partnered with Centre Region Parks & Recreation.

When you’re grieving a loss, your heart can feel like it has been broken apart. Here is an opportunity for you to knit your heart back together. Knitting can be very meditative, sharing with others is healing, and if you’d like to make hats and sweaters for newborn babies, it is an opportunity for another kind of healing by caring for others. No knitting experience is necessary! Instructors: Eleanor Martin and Jackie Naginey Hook.

You will be responsible for providing knitting needles and yarn and will receive a list of the necessary supplies after registration. Please register at Centre Region Parks & Recreation website ↓. If you have questions, email Jackie@JackieHook.com or call (814) 237-2712.

Join ACAP in person on Tuesday to learn about "Help in Your Own Backyard: the Caregiver Program.”

Whenever possible, knowing more about where to go and whom to contact in the community before there is a crisis is essential in helping caregivers feel more informed and less stressed. Learning more about the Caregiver program offered through the Office of Aging provides that information as we take a deeper dive into hearing more about this program. To learn more and register for this event, visit the ACAP website ↓.

Koch Funeral Home has partnered with YMCA of Centre County.

When you lose a loved one, having support helps you on your healing journey. It is powerful to realize you are not alone and to learn how others make it through. In this grief education and support group, we’ll discuss grief and mourning, have opportunities to share our own stories, if desired, and be among others who have experienced a loss. Adults of all ages are welcome – intergenerational support is a powerful healer too.

Facilitators are Jackie Naginey Hook and Brenda Oyler Kim. To RSVP, email Jackie Naginey Hook at Jackie@JackieHook.com or call 814-237-2712.

When: Every 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, February 10, and February 24, 2026
Time: 4:30pm - 6:00pm
Where: YMCA of Centre County, State College Branch, 677 W. Whitehall Road, State College
