​
Three Little Birds hosts unique and special events for the families in our nest that we call our Signature Events. This includes our legacy project groups/events, special remembrance events and more. Access to our events are included in our Membership program. Our free membership includes access to RSVP for these popular events as we sometimes have capacity limits.
​
What is a material or event fee? Our goal is to provide our support for free or little cost. Many of our events involving crafts or personalized items require materials to facilitate. Additionally, many of our off-site events have fees to participate. When we can, Three Little Birds will cover a portion of these expenses. Exact costs will be provided when registration opens. However, for some groups and events, we need help covering these expenses and offer a suggested donation. A donation is not required to attend our support groups at the office in Blackwood.
​
Please note: We are volunteer run and donation based. At this time, our capacity to support our mission is for families in the Philadelphia/South Jersey metro region only. We are unable to accommodate families outside the following areas: Southern NJ (Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Camden, Cumberland, Gloucester & Salem Counties), the City of Philadelphia and PA (Montgomery, Bucks and Delaware Counties).

Legacy Events - Year round - Several of the families in our nest host events to honor their babies, raise awareness and funds in support of perinatal loss or host a support group specific to something in their journey.
