The giving season is here, and we’d love for you to keep Freedom Resource Center in mind. 💛

We are grateful for every person who believes in independence, inclusion, and “Nothing About Us Without Us.” These values guide everything we do to support people with disabilities in living fuller, more independent lives. ✨

If you’re considering giving this season, early Giving Hearts Day donations are now open. ❤️
