EMPOWERING CHOICE AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
2019 Annual Campaign
Norman and Donna met two years ago and fell in love while attending Living Resources DayCommunity Opportunities Program. Norman resides at a Living Resources residence and while Donna resides elsewhere, they committed to one another at a beautiful ceremony in September. Norman and Donna continue to attend our Day Opportunities Program where their love began and continues to grow.
At Living Resources, we have a fundamental belief that growth and happiness are unique for each individual. Therefore, our single goal is to make sure each person continues to grow to their fullest potential, to pursue happiness in the manner they determine, and live as Independently as possible.
We hope you will consider a generous gift that will allow us to provide the individuals we serve – like Norman and Donna – with a full life of purpose, comfort, and hope – regardless of disability or impairment.

We couldn't be happier to announce that our Orange County DCOP program opened this month! They made Veteran's Day appreciation cards and then delivered them to the "home for heroes'' at the VA Hospital in Montrose. Other photos of their first day include; Rob, Amanda and Frank excited before the first pick up, Manager Amanda pulling out of the parking lot to pick up our first team ever, and the home base of this program- the New Prospect Reformed Church!
Congratulations, Orange County! We look forward to hearing more from you!
