Whether it is a donor, an employee, or a volunteer, their contribution is invaluable to helping the people we support through their time, financial resources, or anything else. You "get back" in addition to giving just knowing that you are part of making the lives of people with varied abilities that much better.
Complete acceptance and inclusion.
