SOAR365’s Business Solutions department runs multiple successful businesses that employ people with disabilities. Jim Quigg, Vice President of Business Solutions, shares, “Our mission is to improve the lives of people with disabilities. We work with a population that wants to work, has an opportunity to work, and we support them.”   
 
“For our team members with disabilities, a job is much more than just income,” says Trent McFadden, Assistant VP of our AbilityOne Business Line. “Employment often offers independence, respect, and a chance to contribute meaningfully while feeling valued and connected in our community.”   
 
Get involved! Visit soar365.org today to donate or volunteer. You can help us create more jobs for people with disabilities.

Summer Camp Applications Are Live!
Summer Camp is our favorite time of year, so we are already dreaming up fun activities for our 2024 campers. The application to join us for one of the ten summer camp sessions is now live. 
 
At Camp Baker, kids and adults with disabilities get to enjoy all the traditional fun of summer camp. The 22 wooded acres are a beautiful setting for horseback riding, arts and crafts, sports, fishing, music and drama activities, hiking, paddle boating and even outdoor tent camping. Plus, campers get to participate in Summer Camp’s famous talent show. Overnight and day camp options are available.
