September 13th begins National DSP Appreciation Week! We’ll be thanking our DSP’s over the course of the week. We plan to have many events and ways to show our DSPs how much we care about the valuable work that you do.

We are excited to host our upcoming DSP Appreciation Happy Hour on Monday, September 14, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM!

This special event is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the dedication, compassion, and hard work of our Direct Support Professionals who make a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve every day.

This event is being family-led, and we are asking for the support of our amazing families to help make this celebration a success.

We have created a sign-up link that lists all of the items needed for the event, including contributions for the taco bar, snacks, beverages, and event supplies. If you are able to donate an item(s), please sign up using the link provided.

Important Reminder:

All donated items must be delivered no later than 2:00 PM on Monday, September 14, 2026, to allow time for setup before the event begins.

We sincerely appreciate any support you can provide. Your generosity and commitment help us show our DSPs how much they are valued and appreciated. Without the support of our families, events like this would not be possible.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the incredible DSPs who provide care, support, and encouragement to the individuals we serve each day. We truly could not do this without you!
