Community Give Back Program

For so many years, decades really, our society never imagined that those with developmentally disabilities could one day be valued and respected as dependable volunteers.  Today, however, through AABR’s Community Give Back Program, our disabled people volunteer in our communities!  Trained and supervised, they assist in helping others by delivering meals to the elderly, serving in soup kitchens, helping in hospitals, cataloging books in local libraries and feeding and comforting the elderly in nursing homes.
