🌟 Inclusion Isn’t a Moment — It’s a Movement 🌟
When individuals with disabilities are offered real jobs, real growth, and real respect, the results speak for themselves. This year, we supported 401 people, helped launch 46 new jobs, and maintained a 62% employment rate among those we serve.
From 1-year successes to 25-year career milestones, these achievements show what’s possible when workplaces embrace inclusion and offer long-term support.
Meet Emily, part of the team at PetSmart! 🐾
Emily works hard each shift to keep the store clean, organized, and welcoming for every pet parent that walks through the door. From stocking supplies to helping keep the store sparkling, Emily’s work makes a real difference.
We love seeing Emily thrive in a job that aligns with her interests, and we’re proud to support her journey toward meaningful employment.
Inclusive hiring builds stronger teams — thank you, PetSmart, for leading the way. 🐶💼

Meet Doug! Every week, Doug heads to a Ghost Owl Farm Equine Sanctuary as part of his Community Inclusion services. His favorite part? Interacting with the horses and giving them the care they need to feel safe, calm, and loved. 🐴💚
What started as a volunteer opportunity has become so much more — a place where Doug connects with the animals, builds confidence, and learns new skills alongside a dedicated team of staff and volunteers.
We’re proud to support meaningful involvement in the community, where talents can shine, passions can grow, and every contribution matters. 🌿
