time, money and in-kind contribution help keep us going Give your Time: Do you have a special talent? Are you interested in assisting

with the day-to-day operations of our organization? Do you want to become more involved? We are always looking for people to help. Whether it is joining a committee, helping to plan a fundraiser, doing some office work, our volunteers provide an important service.

Help fulfill our wish List: Money isn't everything. In-kind donations are just as important. Maybe your business provides a service we need. Or perhaps you have an item that is just taking up space. You may even have Silent Auction items that we can use to raise money to support our programs.

Hire a person with a Disability: If you are an employer looking for quality employees, consider hiring a person with a disability. Studies have shown that people with disabilities make excellent, hard-working employees. It’s good for business. It’s good for the community.

Consider a Monetary Contribution: We depend upon your contribution to help us make a difference in someone's life. The growing need for more services to provide the support they will need, makes it critical for us to receive charitable financial Contribution. from people like you.
