Autism Awareness of Southeast Missouri

💙 Why Give to Autism Awareness of Southeast Missouri (AASM) on Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that encourages people to give back to the causes that matter most — right in their own communities. It’s a chance to pause after the holiday rush and support organizations that make a real difference.

When you give to AASM, you’re supporting local families across Southeast Missouri. Every donation helps us provide sensory-friendly events, caregiver support, educational outreach, and resources that bring connection, hope, and understanding to families navigating autism.

✨ Your gift stays local.
✨ Your support creates real impact for real families.
✨ Your donation helps us build programs, events, and resources that our community truly needs.

Thank you for choosing AASM this Giving Tuesday. Your kindness helps us continue our mission of support, acceptance, and inclusion. 💙🧩

At Autism Awareness of Southeast Missouri, we are dedicated to empowering families through support, resources, and community connections. Join us in fostering understanding and advocacy for individuals on the autism spectrum in our vibrant community.
