As we pause to celebrate Thanksgiving, we’re reminded of God’s goodness and faithfulness throughout this past year. We are grateful for the blessings we’ve experienced, the growth within our community, and the meaningful moments shared with the individuals and families we are privileged to serve.

Most of all, we give thanks for you—our supporters, partners, and friends. Your prayers, encouragement, and commitment make it possible for us to continue our mission of providing compassionate, Christ-centered care for individuals with developmental disabilities.

From our hearts to yours, we wish you a warm and joyful Thanksgiving. May God continue to bless you and your family in the season ahead.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs SIGNED House Bill 2945 to secure funding that supports Arizonans with intellectual developmental disabilities through the end of June.

There is still work to be done to secure funding beyond the fiscal year, but we applaud Hobbs and the Arizona Legislature for their efforts in getting this over the finish line.

Additionally, we thank all of those who spent the time to advocate on this issue!
