Drew's Hope FAQs
Drew’s Hope was named in memory of Drew Michael Taylor. Drew was three years old when he died in a tragic auto accident in the Outer Banks on June 13, 2006.
Nothing. Thanks to generous donors, Drew Michael Taylor Foundation fundraisers and grants from other organizations, the Drew’s Hope grief support program is provided free of charge to families.
We offer a free seven-session weekly program each Fall and Spring. Each session meets from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. The night of the week may vary by semester. Dinner is included with each session, followed by separate support groups for children, teens and adults.
Drew’s Hope is offered at the Grace B. Luhrs University Elementary School at Shippensburg University, 1871 Old Main Dr., Shippensburg, PA (the school is actually on Adams Dr. on campus).
Any child or teen, age 18 and under, and their family members, who have experienced the death of a loved one are welcome to attend the Drew’s Hope program. Children/teens must be accompanied by a caring adult. They cannot attend Drew’s Hope alone.
