At the GRANDS Raising Kids support group, we recognize the special bond between grandparents, relatives, and children. Our organization is dedicated to bringing joy and empowerment to both generations through meaningful support, interactions, and activities. Grandparents and relatives play a crucial role in a child's life by offering wisdom, support, and unconditional love. By fostering strong connections between grandparents and children, we can create lasting memories and enrich the lives of everyone involved.
