Hi friends,
At ICS, we know that people with disabilities deserve access to full, rich lives. We also know that some people face societal barriers that make this dream hard to achieve. When not addressed, these barriers can lead to poverty, unemployment and isolation.
Thanks to your generosity, our employment, living and mental health programs serve 338 individuals with disabilities as they pursue careers, rent apartments, make friends and achieve their vision of a full, rich life.
The power of what we can do together:
11 of our 80 staff are people who have received ICS services
82 clients are living independently
Last year, 37 individuals were hired into new jobs
However, expenses caused by the pandemic and challenges with staffing have left us facing unexpected financial strains today. After grants and government funds are applied, we are operating at a $50 deficit per client per month.
Your donation makes all the difference:
$50 covers services for one individual for one month
$600 covers services for one year
$3,000 covers a year of services for five individuals
Every dollar counts. From our staff and clients, thank you for your continued support and happy holidays!
With gratitude,
Abby Yim
Executive Director
"What does a full, rich life look like to you? For me, its connecting with other people, feeling content being independent and pursuing my passions. My whole life I have wanted to make an impact on others. I feel that I am doing that by being a client who now works at ICS. This is a true definition of a fulfilling life for me." - Jessy, ICS Staff + Client
