Our summer program is back and it’s bigger, better, and bolder than ever!

We’ve grown from serving 8 to 15 families, expanded from 3 to 8 weeks, and doubled our community adventures to 8 unique destinations, which means more connection, joy, and laughter.

 

But beyond the fun, our Community Members are shining. Whether volunteering, exploring, or forming new friendships, they are showing the world what’s possible.

Respite to Residential Update…………This is Just the Beginning

Our Respite to Residential pilot has already served 4 families and more are joining soon!

 

What started as a dream is now a beautiful reality. Parents can enjoy a well-deserved date night or weekend away knowing their loved one is in good hands and likely having even more fun!

Each overnight includes comforting traditions:

  • First-night dinners at their favorite restaurant
  • Game nights & movie nights
  • Neighborhood walks & basketball with friends

This program is laying the foundation for a lifelong residential home, full of joy, friendships, belonging and authentic connections.

We Need YOU!
