Alumni Spotlight!
Meet Amber Miller '21, founder and president of the Comfort Project. The Comfort Project Foundation was created by Amber in loving memory of her grandfather, whose life and loss inspired her to make sure others walking through grief feel less alone. Her organization provides Comfort Kits to those grieving the death of a loved one or pet. The Comfort Project also has a prayer team that comes alongside people in grief, and other difficult seasons of life, through prayer and encouragement. Through these simple acts of kindness, their hope is to bring a little comfort during some of life’s hardest moments. Find out more at https://thecomfortprojectfoundation.my.canva.site/
