As we wrap up 2025...

We’re taking a moment to reflect on the meaningful experiences, milestones, and moments of connection that have shaped this year at Freedom. With deep gratitude, we look back on the progress we’ve made together.

Highlights from 2025:

Giving Hearts Day 2025: Our year began with incredible
generosity from the community, setting a positive tone for the months ahead.

Appreciation Luncheon 2025: We celebrated the individuals,
businesses, and partners who strengthen independent living
through their advocacy, support, and commitment to building inclusive community connections.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 35th Anniversary
Open House: We honored 35 years of advocacy, accessibility, and independence with an open house filled with community and celebrating the ADA signing.

NCIL 2025 – National Council on Independent Living:
Two staff members attended this national conference in
Washington, D.C., gaining valuable knowledge and bringing back insights to strengthen our work.

Our First-Ever Freedom Resource Fair: Thanks to an
outstanding turnout, this brand-new event was a tremendous success and is now becoming an annual tradition.

APRIL 2025 – Association of Programs for Rural
Independent Living: Four staff members attended this
national conference in October, held in Portland, Oregon. They connected with peers across the country and expanded their knowledge in rural independent living services.

A New Look for Freedom: We refreshed our logo and color
palette, giving Freedom a bright, modern identity that reflects who we are today.

Fargo Office Construction: Our Fargo location underwent a major transformation, bringing a renewed and welcoming space to our staff and consumers.

As we wrap up 2025, our hearts are full. Every program,
every event, and every connection we made this year was strengthened by the support of people like you. Whether you attended an event, partnered with us, shared our mission with
others, or simply believed in the work we do; your support
made a difference!

Thank you for standing with Freedom and for helping
us empower individuals to live independently, confidently,
and fully. We are deeply grateful for your trust, your
encouragement, and your presence in our community.

We look forward to all that 2026 will bring, and we’re
honored to move into a new year with you by our side.
