Volunteer Opportunities

Welcome to Empty Cradle

Empty Cradle is a non-denominational, non-profit organization dedicated to providing support to families who have experienced the loss of a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, infant death or SIDS.

Our mission is to offer bereaved families compassionate support by means of monthly meetings, phone support, written material and partnership with the health care community. Support is provided to members through a network of trained resource parents made up of volunteers who have experienced a loss through early pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant death or SIDS. Parents who serve as volunteers have found comfort through the fellowship that Empty Cradle offers, and in turn they hope to help bring comfort to other bereaved families. By reaching out to others we can achieve our stated goal:
 
"…To comfort the grief of an aching heart and ease the pain of an empty cradle…"
