This holiday season, independence looks different for everyone. 🏠✨

For the adults we serve at Walnut Street Center, it might mean preparing their own breakfast in one of our residential homes. Volunteering at a local food pantry. Working on employment skills that lead to meaningful community participation. Or simply making choices about their own daily lives, choices many of us take for granted.

For 55 years, we've been proving that with the right support, every person can live with dignity and purpose in their community. As 2025 comes to a close, we're grateful for supporters who believe in this mission as deeply as we do!

Give before December 31st and make your tax-deductible donation count twice: once for your 2025 taxes, and every day for the individuals who depend on our services.
