You Can Help
The pandemic has kept us apart & inside for too long so we're taking advantage of the summer sun to host a fun-filled day with games, good food, dancing, & friends. SummerFest will be the first time that many of the people we support are able to get together and celebrate since the COVID shutdowns. Please support SummerFest today!

Embracing Challenges
COVID-19 challenged the disability support community, & the world, in ways no one could have imagined. Social isolation, program closures, health & safety concerns, staffing shortages, & policy changes are just a few examples of the pandemic's impact on an industry that already works harder than many to support some of the region's most vulnerable populations.
