December 2020
Advocating for employment options
We want to thank our friend and advocate Bridget Kelly, whose brother Jack is served by OP. Bridget started her own fundraiser for OP by sharing Jack’s story and the importance of work opportunities. Jack loves working at OP and is a valued member of our center-based and community work teams.

“Work gives Jack a sense of accomplishment, gets him out of the house every day, and offers him a sense of community. Most importantly, work brings Jack dignity,” she says. Bridget is advocating for individuals and families to continue to have choices in what type of work is best for them. She wants to ensure center-based options remain available for people who thrive in supported environments. Thank you for your advocacy, Bridget! 
You make our holidays brighter!
Happy holidays! This photo reminds us of the fun we have when we're together! Even throughout this turbulent year, our mission remains at the forefront of all we do. And as always, we can't do it without the amazing support from friends like you.

The majority of our annual contributions come in November and December. Thank you again for your generosity as we work to advance the quality of life for people with disabilities in our community. Click here to give by December 31!
Caring throughout COVID
2020 has been anything but typical, but what hasn't changed is our commitment to our mission and the care our dedicated team members continue to provide. Even with changing health protocols, closures, masks and more, we're supporting hundreds of people who need us every day throughout our residential, employment and enrichment programs. Together, we are better - even when we've had to be apart! You can read more about how we've supported people throughout COVID in our latest Opportunities newsletter!
Rebuilding together, thanks to you!
Construction is underway of our former Ensign residence in New Hope, which was destroyed by fire in 2019. Denali Custom Homes and their team of subcontractors are generously donating a portion of supplies and labor. After the fire, many friends of OP donated more than $49,000 to help with the displacement. We are so grateful for our caring community for continuing to warm our hearts with support. More updates to come!
Remember OP for holiday shopping!
