Connecting Pieces

Connecting Pieces empowers individuals and families affected by gastrointestinal conditions, rare diseases, chronic illnesses to build confidence, find community, and embrace healing. Guided by our pillars—Gather, Uplift, and Trust—we create inclusive spaces that connect mental, physical, and emotional well-being through creativity, education, and compassionate support.

Connecting Pieces is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting individuals and families impacted by chronic illnesses like IBD. We empower patients through creative programs that blend art, nutrition, and mental health. From our Healing Arts and Nourish & Flourish classes to our global Ostomy Supply Closet, we help communities heal with confidence and compassion—one piece at a time.
