Locations across the U.S.

Even in the strange, imperfect world of grief, we find compassion, gratitude, and community all around us — three concepts at the heart of the Thanksgiving holiday.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we invite you to join us this November for the 3rd Annual TAPS Togethers: Friendsgiving event series by hosting or attending a gathering in your local area. These events will be held all across the country, throughout the month of November as an opportunity to gather with and support your local survivor community.
