History:
We are a non profit agency who has been open since 1992. We have a total of 310 members who come in to our place for assistance and guidance as well as for peer support. We help them with any issues they may have/had or with meetings they have to go to, etc... We provide advocacy by accompanying members when they need someone to advocate for them. We try to encourage our members to get out into the world and live a full life, not to just exist and let life pass by. Our program has made huge differences in people's lives and we are happy to continue doing so. Programs like United Way helps us do things that we normally would not be able to afford to do.
