Walking with you on your grief journey.Our
Mission
Bri’s Lodge is a local non-profit committed to helping individuals cope with loss, support their healing, nurture physical and emotional well-being and bring hope for the future, believing that no one should grieve alone.
Bri’s Lodge is currently launching our new companioning model in stages. This will include three types of support. The first is to continue with our Direct Companioning; we meet one-to-one with you or your family. The second is to initiate our support groups. Lastly, we will implement a retreat program that will include day and weekend retreats.
To reach this milestone, we need caring individuals committed to supporting our neighbors, friends, and community through times of loss. With your help, we can create a safe space so that no one grieves alone.

Volunteers
Needed
Donor Relations
Looking for someone that can help cultivate and solicit relationships with current and prospective donors in the community and surrounding areas—mainly looking for someone with experience in large/major gift experience.
Grant Writer
Event Planner
Volunteer Coordinator
Looking for someone to help maintain two separate volunteer lists. One for individuals interested in supporting our cause for a wide range of tasks. The other list would be for individuals interested in “companioning” with another individual who has lost in a similar way. No experience is necessary for this role but would need to be sensitive to information provided by those grieving a loss.
Land Donation
We are searching for a generous donor to consider donating land to WWBD to construct Bri’s Lodge. We want to provide a space where individuals and families can come to find peace and solace, a place where they can connect with others who are grieving a similar loss. Nature has proven to be a part of the healing process.
Our dream would be that the land would have:
- 60-80 acres
- Wooded area
- Small pond
- Be within 10-15 miles from St. Cloud
As mentioned, this is a list of our dream land, but any land donation would be greatly appreciated to get the planning underway. Your land donation would be the first building block to constructing Bri’s Lodge and helping those traveling their grief journey.
