Employment Services - employment training and job coaching to help make dreams reality.

Community-Based Day Program - creative and fun activities in the community to encourage connection and experience

Senior Services - non-medical in-home care for seniors including transportation, meal preparation, laundry, errands, light housekeeping and more.

Smart Art + Craft Supplies - Our arts & crafts thrift store selling donated materials while employing people with disabilities. Think Michael’s meets Goodwill.
