Community Services

Helping Communities Thrive Nationwide 

We’re committed to helping people improve their overall well-being so they can achieve a greater sense of belonging and fully engage with their community. That’s why we focus on: 

• Resource connection: Connecting people to necessary resources and networks to help improve a sense of belonging, self-sufficiency and community involvement 
• Inclusive recreation: Offering different camp and recreational settings for children and adults with disabilities and providing a variety of activities in both inclusive and separate settings  
• Community strengthening: Helping people get what they need to meet their basic needs—whether their needs are related to food, financial support, transportation, benefits guidance, or social integration 

We offer an extensive array of community services tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals and families. These services encompass support in areas such as healthcare, employment training, education, and recreational activities, all aimed at empowering people to lead fulfilling lives. This can include: 

• Guiding families to navigate essential resources, including disability services, health care, and financial support, making complex processes simpler and providing vital referrals 
• Inclusive care and education programs for children up to age 12, ensuring consistent, high-quality care throughout the year 
• Ensuring that community members have access to nutritious meals through food distribution centers, addressing food insecurity 
• Providing reliable and accessible transportation and mobility options for people, making it easier for them to attend daily activities and appointments  
• Peer support networks that foster social inclusion by reducing isolation and building meaningful community connections.  
• Assisting families with benefits applications and financial matters, offering expertise in areas ranging from financial planning to tax preparation  
• Community engagement programs that enhance health, economic, and social outcomes through hands-on involvement and thoughtful reflection
