We’re so proud of the individuals from the GHA Autism Supports Day Program who are participating in an Employability Skills Program at Stanly Community College!

This semester, our students are enrolled in a math employability skills class taught by GHA Board Member Lisa Ewers, making this partnership even more special. In addition to strengthening basic math skills, participants will be learning valuable skills related to independent living and workplace readiness.

Today was an exciting milestone as students received their official SCC student IDs, which also provide discounts at community businesses—another great step toward independence and community inclusion.

Our individuals will be attending class every Monday and Wednesday throughout the semester, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish. Thank you to Stanly Community College and Lisa Ewers for helping make opportunities like this possible!

Nothing is better than spending time in the NC Mountains during the fall. From the crisp air to the colorful fall leaves, individuals we support at GHA enjoyed a trip to Boone, NC in September. It was a fun-packed adventure from visiting the pumpkin patch, Mast General Store, bowling, eating out, enjoying sweet treats, and just relaxing at the cabin. It was a wonderful adventure with memories to last a lifetime! A special thank you to our Direct Care Staff and a special donor that made this trip possible.

Holiday cheer was in full swing at our Albemarle Day Program! Our individuals had the best time celebrating together in their cozy PJs, enjoying delicious cupcakes, and receiving some of their favorite items from their holiday wish lists. Smiles, laughter, and sweet moments filled the room, reminding us what this season is all about—joy, connection, and feeling truly celebrated. ❤️🧁🎁

We are so thankful for days like this and for our dedicated staff who help to make these special moments possible!

The individuals at Port City Academy in Wilmington are putting their own creative spin on advent calendars this year — and we are loving it!

Instead of candy or trinkets, each day brings a brand-new holiday trivia question. From festive facts to merry mysteries, the fun is definitely in the guessing!

After all… who doesn’t love a good game? ❤️🎄❤️

A huge thank you to the Morrell Family and to the Historic Rialto Theatre in Raleigh for hosting this morning’s special showing of Home Alone 2! 🎬 From the aroma of freshly popped popcorn drifting through the theater, to festive kids’ crafts, laughter, and plenty of fellowship, it was truly a wonderful way to kick off the season.
