At neba, we know that creating an inclusive workplace is about more than policies or procedures; it’s about empathy, respect, and valuing every individual. Every interaction matters. Every opportunity counts.

Let’s keep building workplaces and communities where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated. 💙

Happy Holidays from neba ✨

As the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect with gratitude—for the individuals we support, the families who trust us, our dedicated team, and our community partners.

December is a season filled with many meaningful holidays and traditions, and we honor and celebrate them all. May this time bring moments of connection, rest, and joy in whatever ways are most meaningful to you.

Thank you for being part of the neba community. Wishing you peace, warmth, and a hopeful start to the new year.

Sometimes we all need a little extra support - and that’s okay. 💛

If you or someone you know is looking for resources like food assistance, housing support, transportation, financial help, or mental health services, findhelp.org is a great place to start. It’s a free, easy-to-use tool that connects people with local programs based on their ZIP code.

At neba, we’re proud to walk alongside individuals as they work toward their goals - and part of that journey is recognizing that everyone needs support at different moments in life. If this resource can help make things a little easier, we’re glad to share it.

Thank you to everyone who supported neba on Giving Tuesday—whether you liked, shared, or donated, you helped make our message stronger.

But Giving Tuesday is just the beginning. As we close out the year, the need for individualized employment support continues. Every day, someone is taking their first steps toward finding meaningful work, and your generosity helps make that possible.

If you’re able, please consider making an end-of-year gift to neba. Your support fuels the tools, coaching, and opportunities that help people with disabilities achieve independence and success.

Together, we make work possible.

Growth means letting go of who we were so we can become who we’re meant to be. At neba, we get to see this transformation every day: through the individuals we help step forward, building new skills, and embracing new opportunities with courage and confidence. Inclusion, progress, and personal growth all require us to look forward, not backward.

Together, we make work possible.

Today, as we close out Giving Tuesday, we’re reflecting on what truly fuels this mission: the everyday moments of support, connection, and community.

This video captures the small but powerful steps that lead to meaningful employment - quiet encouragement, shared problem-solving, tools that open doors, and the strength people find when they’re backed by a team that believes in them.

Your generosity today helps carry this work forward into the rest of the year.
Giving Tuesday is just the beginning.

If you’ve already given, thank you.
If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to join us in making work possible for the people and families we serve.

Together, we can keep this momentum going.
