Giving Tuesday is just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for one of the most important giving moments of the year.
As a small nonprofit, we rely deeply on end-of-year giving. It strengthens our programs, sustains our mission, and ensures we can continue serving people with disabilities in the year ahead.
This year, your support matters more than ever. Despite nearly $120,000 in state budget cuts, we are not reducing services or turning anyone away. But to keep our programs strong and accessible for every person who needs us, community support is essential.
All money raised this Giving Tuesday will directly support our Youth Services programming — primarily our Summer Work Program, which provides hands-on, real-world work experience to youth with disabilities throughout Ottawa and Allegan Counties. Your generosity helps local young people build confidence, gain job skills, and prepare for meaningful futures.
Your gift has a direct and lasting impact and helps keep the future funded. Every dollar helps people with disabilities access the resources, support, and opportunities they need to live the independent lives they choose. Your support doesn’t just fund programs — it fuels leadership, empowerment, and belonging.
If you believe in a community where everyone can participate, contribute, and belong, this is a vital moment to give.
