Thank you for Giving to the Max!

Our community rallied around our vision of a world where disability inclusion is the standard, not the exception, on Give to the Max Day! Together, with the support of 65 generous donors, we raised $56,170 – exceeding our goal of $52,000! This is an extraordinary leap from the $17,000 raised last year and a clear reflection of the growing energy behind our mission.

While Give to the Max Day has ended, the work to advance disability inclusion continues. You can still make a difference by donating on our website here: https://bit.ly/47f0viO

Thanks to you, we’ve reached over 75% of our goal — and the energy behind disability inclusion is stronger than ever. Let’s keep it going!

Disability inclusion isn’t just for people with disabilities today – it’s for all of us. Most disabilities are acquired at some point in our lives, and the Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion will be here to help navigate complex systems, educate the community, and expand choice and access to services.

There’s still time to join the movement today! Every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $26,000 thanks to an anonymous donor and John and Michele Abbott.

We’re now over 70% of our goal — and with your help, we can keep this momentum going to make disability inclusion the standard in Minnesota.

On , we’re reimagining what disability services can – and should – be through the Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion.

The current model alone can’t meet the evolving needs of people with disabilities. The Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion tackle real challenges: limited choices, complex systems, and lack of community understanding.

For Jay, a client who spends time at the Lifeworks Center for Disability Inclusion – New Hope, the new approach is working, “Now we have a place that is big, fun, and comfortable. I like to be out with friends both here and in the community.”

Your support today brings us closer to our $52,000 goal and truly disability-inclusive communities. Every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $26,000 thanks to an anonymous donor and John and Michele Abbott!

At Lifeworks, accessibility isn’t an add-on - it’s the foundation.

Every corner of the Lifeworks Centers for Disability Inclusion was designed to go beyond ADA standards, creating spaces where everyone can move, connect, and thrive. The bright, open floor plan allows for seamless mobility and community. Modular furniture and flexible seating make comfort possible for every body and ability.

In the kitchen, adaptive counters, accessible sinks, and microwaves positioned at varying heights invite independence and choice. Even the restrooms reflect that same commitment — large, beautifully designed, and equipped with adult-size changing tables that promote dignity and care for all.

Because accessibility isn’t just about meeting a requirement — it’s about redefining what belonging looks like.
