MEET JACOB!

For 19 years, I’ve called Parc home. I came to the Cottages when I was 10 years old, and now at 29, I’ve built a life filled with friendship, music, baseball, and community. I live with an intellectual disability, Cerebral Palsy, a seizure disorder, and vision impairment, but those challenges don’t define who I am. I love cheering on the Rays, singing karaoke, being part of the Inspired Choir, and spending time with the people who make Parc feel like family. Every day, I’m encouraged to keep growing, stay active, and experience life to the fullest.

Raise the Roof: Help Us Reach The Finish Line

Yes… the doors are open, the children are in, and lives are already being impacted every single day inside the Tom & Mary James Children Services Center.

This dream became a reality because of the incredible generosity of our community, and we are deeply grateful to every donor who helped make this milestone possible.

But we still need your help.

To fully complete the Raise the Roof Capital Campaign, we must reach our $10 million goal. Thanks to our amazing supporters, we have raised $8,589,149 to date—and we are so close to the finish line!

Every dollar matters. Every gift makes a difference.

No gift is too small, and pledges can be made over time to make giving easier and more meaningful for your family.

Please consider being part of this transformational community milestone that will impact children and families for generations to come.

Help us Raise the Roof and reach the finish line today.

Help Us Cross the Finish Line!

Because of YOU, so many birthday wishes came true.

During our Birthday Month Celebration, 77 incredible donors made 81 generous gifts, helping raise an amazing $23,679.45 in support of the children and adults we serve at Parc.

Every dollar represents hope, opportunity, encouragement, and brighter days ahead for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community.

From all of us at Parc, thank you for celebrating with purpose, giving with heart, and helping grant wishes that truly make a difference every single day.

Your kindness is the greatest gift of all.

Culture of Philanthropy: The Power of Showing Up

Philanthropy is not just about giving treasure. It’s about giving your time, talents, expertise, and heart. Everyone has something meaningful to contribute.

This month, we are proud to spotlight Kyle, one of our incredible volunteers who gives in so many ways through her service, professional expertise, and advocacy for Parc’s mission.

When asked why she shows up, Kyle shared:

“Because I really believe in the organization. I love the people I’m working with, and I love the mission. I think it’s very important.”

Kyle also recognizes that volunteering helps Parc operate more efficiently and effectively, ultimately creating more time and resources to focus on those we serve.

Her impact is a reminder that every act of service matters. Whether through volunteering, advocacy, or financial support, each person has the ability to strengthen our mission and help change lives.

Thank you, Kyle, for showing up and making a difference.
