GROWTH AND EXPANSION
Roberta’s House has over 800 trained volunteers and a growing staff of professionals to carry out the grief center’s mission. The Board of Directors, along with the help from Maryland Legislative leaders, foundations and the community, spearheaded a capital campaign to generate 14 million dollars for the construction of our new building. In January 2020, we opened our new 22,000 square foot state of the art grief center, the first of its kind in the nation. The new expansion includes art activity rooms, a library resource center, a multi-purpose room, a theatre, a fitness room, a game room, an expression room, conference rooms, family counseling rooms, and administrative offices. The grief center currently serves an average of 2000 families through its 13 grief support programs annually. The new center is built on the landmark of row homes at 928 E. North Avenue, where March Funeral Home was originally founded in 1957.
