We support the dreams of those we serve. Last year, three young women went to Japan! Today, one young man who LOVES Star Wars is in California at Disneyland, picking out his own lightsaber, and next month, another young woman we serve is going to Ireland! Can you say "ADVENTURE"!? Our dedicated staff members accompany the clients to faraway destinations, according to their goals and dreams!

We have clients who participated in advocacy day in Olympia for Supported Living providers! I'm so proud of our amazing advocates and staff from Banchero Disability Partners!

Our Supported Living program has a unique focus on listening to the individuals we serve. We do this through a Client Advisory Council (CAC) that meets monthly. The Council will bring forward discussion topics, highlight the Banchero Disability Program services they are pleased with, and suggest how staff can make improvements. They often suggest outings or events they believe others would enjoy. At the February meeting, they said they would love to host a movie night and suggested a title they all would enjoy. A second goal they identified was to convene and draft advocacy letters to their State representatives. The Council selects its own Chairperson and rotates that leadership position every six months. This is an excellent way to develop leadership and advocacy skills in those we serve. We are so proud of our CAC members!

Shoreline Rotary Club donated $885 to the adults we serve who have developmental disabilities, to alleviate food insecurities for those who have needs for healthy options. Banchero Disability Partners is proud to be a member of this community-minded organization!

🧩This fall, Delaney, Kendall's sister, graciously invited us to the Inclusive Tech Lab, where she works. Our wonderful clients and team had the opportunity to visit and discover the various projects being developed at the lab. 🧩

🧪The Inclusive Tech Lab is a Microsoft initiative focused on fostering inclusive modern life and education, as well as enhancing accessible productivity and gaming for individuals with disabilities. It serves as a space designed for people with disabilities, rather than about them, embodying Microsoft’s dedication to the disability community. 💻

🔹What an incredible experience it was! A heartfelt thank you to the Inclusive Tech Lab! 🩵

💥Many agencies host Christmas parties, we choose to celebrate with a Holiday Party! This choice reflects our diverse workforce, as most of our employees do not celebrate Christmas. With a significant number of our staff from Gambia, our former ED made a conscious decision years ago to ensure that all employees feel included during the holiday season. 💥

🌲If you had attended our Holiday Party, you would have observed the remarkable turnout of employees who came together to volunteer and support our agency. You would have seen many staff members bringing traditional dishes for everyone to enjoy, as well as numerous employees who dedicated their time to ensure the event's success. 🌲

💙This is what sets our agency apart: the genuine support our employees have for the organization. We boast a sizable group of employees who have been with us for over 10+years, and it is their dedication that keeps our agency thriving despite all the changes.💙

💚You may have also noticed the new clients and their families who joined our program, which has expanded our community and contributed to our agency's growth! 💚

😍Additionally, I spent an entire month shopping for our clients Susan’s Stockings, which they receive during the Holiday Party. Each item is carefully selected to ensure that the client will truly appreciate and use it. Although it requires considerable time and planning, nothing compares to the joy on their faces when they receive gifts from Santa! Every moment is worthwhile! ☺️

💞I would also like to express my gratitude to Kathy Davis for dedicating weeks to work with our clients in her Art Class to create beautiful Christmas Tree centerpieces for our Holiday Party. Their creations added a lovely touch to our event! 💞

😇To our incredible clients, their families and friends, our dedicated employees, and each and every donor, you all made this holiday season truly unforgettable! THANK YOU!!! 🙏
