The Still Place provides rest, renewal, and re-creation to families affected by children with a serious illness or the loss of a child. Healing and hope are fostered through uniquely designed, single family retreats at no cost to the family. Families enjoy art, nature, spirituality, and southern Appalachian culture and adventures.
Your donation to The Still Place during Giving Tuesday will help us serve 40+ families each year. Funds will be used to provide lodging, crock pot meals and pantry staples, grocery store gift card, excursions and activities. The average weeklong family retreat cost $2,500.
​
Donations given to The Still Place from Nov. 18 - Dec. 2 will be a part of our Giving Tuesday fundraiser. All donations up to $10,000 will be matched!

Here are just a few comments from some of our families:
​
"Seeing how helpful everyone in the community is with each other, renewed my views on community. My kids absolutely loved every bit of the week. They were excited and surprised and just thought it was so cool."
​
"Exploring the beautiful area and meeting amazing volunteers/staff and our sweet neighbors has been the highlight of our trip! Enjoying the serenity of the creek and knowing that we are loved and supported has truly given us hope."
​
"Rest was the most impactful. Being so busy all the time is stressful and hard on our family. Coming to The Still Place my family is able to not have to worry. Renewal is also something else that is great. We leave feeling amazing like we can now do what needs to be done when we get home."
​
"Being in the mountains with Gods creation all around us. Giving us a place to rest and be together as a family. Renewed strength to travel home and face life’s challenges."
