Welcome!
Ladle of Ferns is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that cultivates a welcoming and judgment-free community while providing support to adults with chronic physical and mental illness who struggle to access traditional support services.


Our Mission
We strive to provide unique, community led support for people who struggle to access traditional support services. Our goal is to help increase access to community aid while ending the stigma that often comes with asking for help by creating a connected, supportive community where others fearlessly ask for and receive help and get connected to resources that will help them improve their quality of life.
