As a cosponsor for Home Grown's Family, Friend and Neighbor (FFN) Appreciation Week, Trying Together will host the Relative Provider Grandparents Appreciation Day on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

FFN Appreciation Week is an opportunity to celebrate the over 5 million family, friend, and neighbor caregivers who look after 11.5 million children each year. This week of celebration begins on National Grandparents Day, a holiday that honors the bond between children and grandparents. 

Those who are a grandparent caring for a grandchild can bring the children in their lives to the Hub for an appreciation celebration. The event will include food, fun activities, and an opportunity for participants to share their stories.

The event is free, but space is limited. Those interested in attending should register as soon as possible.

The Hub is located at 7219 Kelly St. in Pittsburgh.
