During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, Adrian had the opportunity to attend a bowling event made possible by students from the Four County Career Center ’s Business Professionals of America program, who hosted a fun and inclusive tournament for classrooms across the area.

Adrian’s team chose to put him first by rescheduling a routine appointment so he wouldn’t miss the experience, and that decision made all the difference.

With support from the event volunteers, Napoleon Area City Schools, and our staff, Adrian was able to feel comfortable, included, and simply enjoy the moment. The photo says it all.

It’s a reminder that when we lead with our hearts, opportunities like this can have a lasting impact.

All staff, past and present, friends, and supporters are invited to join us this Monday, March 23 at 10:30 a.m. in the Filling Homes Chapel as we celebrate his life, share memories, and give thanks for the joy he brought to our community. 💙

Please note, Abba passed away peacefully on December 22, 2025. Originally postponed due to weather and travel, we are grateful to now gather together to honor and remember Abba.

On March 4, Tara and Esty attended Developmental Disabilities Awareness & Advocacy Day 2026 at the Ohio Statehouse after being invited by the Fulton County Board of Developmental Disabilities.

They spent the day connecting with others, sharing their perspectives, and hearing from Governor Mike DeWine. They also met with Representative Jim Hoops and Senator Rob McColley to talk about what matters in their community.

Tara shared, “It was a good reminder that we can speak up for each other and ourselves, and that we do have rights.”

During Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and always, we’re so proud of Tara and Esty for representing their community and using their voices.🧡

Just a regular day at the Filling Homes Community Center… with a little extra green! 🍀 Our community shared smiles and enjoyed the day together.

“May God grant you always a sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, and a sheltering angel so nothing can harm you.”

Wishing you a peaceful and blessed St. Patrick’s Day. 🌈

For nearly 70 years, Hope Lutheran Church in Hamler has been an incredible part of the heart and story of Filling Homes.

As one of the original congregations in our Association of Congregations, their faithful support has helped sustain and grow this mission from the very beginning, and continues to make a meaningful difference today.

We were so honored to be welcomed this past Sunday to share a Mission Moment. Thank you to Pastor Diehl and the entire congregation for your kindness, encouragement, and for supporting Filling Homes through the day’s door offering!

We are excited to recognize our Presenting Diamond Sponsor, Civista Bank, for their incredible support of Filling Homes and our Purses for a Purpose event on April 23.

Thanks to the generosity of Civista Bank and our amazing community, this year’s event is officially sold out!

Their partnership helps make this special evening possible while supporting the mission of Filling Homes to provide care, support, and meaningful opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We sincerely appreciate GlennPark of Defiance for their generous donation of Nestlé supplemental formula to Filling Homes. Rather than letting it go unused, they chose to share it with our clients, helping support their nutritional needs and overall well-being.

Acts of generosity like this highlight the strength of our local community and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve!

🧡 Recently, we received a request to share our needs list, which we happily provided. The response was remarkable. In celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and in honor of Miss Jenny H, her family, aided by many friends, family members, and community members, generously donated at least one of every item on the list. We are deeply thankful for their kindness and generosity.
🧡 THANK YOU Amanda and Leslie 🧡
