When a person dies, picking up and moving on isn’t easy. Which is why when someone passes in KELOLAND, neighbors rally around each other to bring comfort to those who are grieving.

One way we all come together is through food, regardless of whether you’re bringing food to the funeral reception, starting a meal train for the family left behind, or just sitting down with those who are mourning their loss, grieving brings us together.
