Save the date - November 29, 2022 is Giving Tuesday! 🫶

This year we ask you to join the movement by giving to an organization you care about. Funds raised on Giving Tuesday will go towards our Year End Campaign and our goal of $35,000.

As 2022 comes to a close, we want to thank more of our amazing Sponsors! Without these sponsors, we would not be able to provide valuable programs and services so people with disabilities can Connect, Grow, and Belong.
