Every Step Makes a Difference!
When you support Made in the Shade, you're doing more than making a donation, you're helping create opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live fuller, more connected lives.
Every gift made through Made in the Shade supports programming that helps participants build confidence, strengthen independence, discover new interests and participate as active members of their communities. Whether it's exploring a local park, volunteering alongside community partners, creating artwork, learning new culinary skills, or developing lasting friendships, these experiences help participants continue to grow and thrive.
Your generosity helps make these opportunities possible, empowering people to make choices, pursue their goals, and enjoy meaningful experiences that reflect their unique interests and abilities!
Every gift matters. Every gift helps. Thank you for standing with us.
