We’ve got just two words for you

THANK. YOU.

This Thanksgiving we wanted to pause real quick and say, you are incredible.

It’s because of supporters like you, people who show up with big hearts, and the kind of belief in abilities that changes the trajectory of the lives of people with special needs.

You’re helping individuals brave, special, talented and souls get their shot at joy, community, and friendship.

We hope you know how special that is.

We're feeling incredibly grateful. 🙌

Grateful that we get to partner with you to bring friendship, employment, and community to thousands of individuals with special needs and their families.

Thank you for supporting this important mission of bringing people from isolation into community by revealing their shining souls.

Happy Thanksgiving from our entire team!

Sure you could make your pies yourself... or... you could be one of the lucky ones scoring a pie made with love by Jacob and our Dakota team.

Dakota's been jammed with orders, but we're baking around the clock, so come on by and pick up pies, cranberry challah, cinnamon buns, and dinner rolls.

Get all the best carbs for your Thanksgiving feast and support our mission to train and employ adults with special needs.

This is what love looks like.

Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, the Berlin family gathers for a football game, turning the game that their son Zach loved most into a way to get young people the mental health support they need.

For the sixth year, they're hosting the game in Zach's memory, raising funds for Friendship Circle’s UMatter program, changing how teens and young adults talk about, understand, and navigate their mental health.
Every year, they show up.

Every year, they turn their love for Zach into action.
This year, they're raising $6,000 to keep UMatter growing.
They inspire us.

What would you add to the list? What myths need to disappear forever?

11/17/2025

What's inside??

Friendship. Inclusion. Exploring abilities and a whole lot of magic.
Behind these doors, people with special needs engage in sports, art, sensory play, music, and form friendships, often for the first time. Teens are discovering what really matters through volunteering, and there's Elkus Village, where thousands of special-ed students come to learn life skills in a realistic life town.

In short?

It’s where everyone has a place, where differences are celebrated, and where loneliness and isolation disappear.

That's what's inside. 💜

Teens these days are....

Incredible.

Our Dorfman Community Inclusion Program, Transitions Together, is specially designed for young adults with special needs, ages 17-26, who are preparing to transition into adulthood.

This new program offers the opportunity to build social skills while providing participants with fun, interactive experiences and activities that help them gain independence, confidence, and make friends.

Activities include movement, art, sports, and field trips!

It's been really nice to see the participants come out of their shells each week. We always start with some icebreaker questions, and we've definitely noticed that the participants are becoming more comfortable speaking to each other and asking each other questions, which is a huge win!
