Friends Life Community is deeply grateful for the incredible support of our donors year after year. Because of the generosity of more than 600 donors, Friends Life Community continues to offer innovative, “out-of-the-box” programming that empowers our Friends to grow, thrive, and reach milestones that once felt unattainable. 

Every gift—no matter the size—creates a ripple effect that impacts not only our Friends, but also their families, and the broader community. The true beauty of giving is that you may never fully know the depth of your impact. Yet, through the joyful moments, celebrations of accomplishments, and the genuine sense of acceptance we witness every day at Friends Life Community, we know in our hearts that your generosity has forever changed lives. Your story and your gift are woven into the unique and beautiful story of each Friend. 

Daniel’s journey is one of finding a place of belonging. Daniel began attending Friends Life Community after his aunt discovered FLC and encouraged him to get involved. Daniel arrived with an impressive knowledge of heavy metal bands and quickly connected with other Friends who shared his love of music. He later joined a service-learning class at SweetAbility, where he excelled so much that the owner hired him for seasonal work during the holidays. Daniel went from feeling disconnected from the community to attending Friends Life Community twice a week, building meaningful friendships, and securing a part-time job. Most importantly, Daniel found connection and a place to belong. 

By supporting Friends Life Community, donors are investing directly in the lives of our Friends and helping make programming accessible to all. Thanks to donor support, FLC is proud to provide a 62% subsidy for every Friend. We are profoundly grateful for our advocates who choose to invest in the lives of the Friends, knowing their generosity will have a lasting impact and remain a meaningful part of each Friend’s story.
