Getting Your House in Order… 

is a practical and compassionate conversation about planning for the seasons ahead. In partnership with a trusted local attorney, we’ll walk through some of life’s most important—and often postponed—tasks, including wills, medical directives, powers of attorney, and other essential documents.

This gathering is not about fear or pressure, but about peace of mind: caring well for yourself, your loved ones, and the values that matter most to you. Whether you’re just beginning to think about these questions or need to update existing plans, this event is designed to be informative, accessible, and encouraging.

January 29 @6pm in Soul Food. A Meal will be provided.
