This week, the participants at Dr. E’s Place took time to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our amazing Direct Service Providers (DSPs)!

Our DSPs play such an important role in supporting participants as they pursue goals, build connections, and thrive in their communities in ways that matter to them! Their dedication helps ensure that everything runs smoothly and, most importantly, that our participants have the support they need to succeed.

To our DSP’s: THANK YOU for creating opportunities, building trust, fostering independence, and supporting people to pursue the lives they choose.

Thank you for making our mission possible. 💙

Tell us in the comments, how have our Dr. E’s Place DSPs made a difference for you or your family?

Creativity takes flight when the community comes together!

A huge thank you to Julien from Troop 53 for choosing United Ability for his Eagle Scout project and building a collection of birdhouses to be displayed on our campus. Julien thoughtfully designed different houses for different types of birds, creating a hands-on opportunity for program participants to learn about birds, nature, and the world around them.

We’re equally grateful to AmFirst for bringing volunteers to assist adult participants at Dr. E’s Place as they painted and personalized the birdhouses. Their support helped turn Julien’s project into an engaging, community-wide experience filled with creativity and connection.

Together, Julien and AmFirst created something meaningful that will be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you both for bringing this project to life!🏡🐦

☀️ What an incredible summer it was with Summer JET! ☀️
Since closing out another amazing season in August, we are taking a moment to celebrate the growth, accomplishments, and memories made this summer. Our students showed up ready to learn, work, build confidence, and take on new challenges, and we could not be more proud of them!
Throughout the summer, students gained valuable hands-on work experience, developed new skills, built relationships with employers and coworkers, and discovered just how capable they truly are. From trying new tasks to stepping outside of their comfort zones, every success (big and small) was worth celebrating.
A huge thank you goes to our incredible staff, community partners, employers, and families who helped make this summer possible. Your support creates opportunities that empower students to grow and prepare for their futures.
We are so proud of our Summer JET students and all they accomplished this summer. We can’t wait to see where they go next! 🌟

Need to shred some documents?📄

Gone For Good, United Ability’s secure shredding service, will be downtown on September 11th to help you safely and securely get rid of old documents and unwanted paperwork.

But we’re about more than just shredding. ♻️

When you recycle with Gone For Good, you’re helping give back to our planet and our community. Your unwanted paper can be responsibly recycled while your support helps provide meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Stop by on September 11th and let us help make sure your documents are Gone For Good! 🌎💚

A little friendly competition and a whole lot of fun! 🎉

A big thank you to Rotaract Club of Birmingham for spending time with the adult participants and joining us for a lively game of bingo at Dr. E’s Place last Friday. Everyone had a fabulous time, especially because each participant went home with a fun prize!

We’re so grateful for community partners who share their time and bring so much joy to the individuals we serve. Thank you, Rotaract, for making the morning one to remember.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been two weeks since Journey of Hope, our favorite night of the year! 🎪✨

But Journey of Hope is more than one magical night, it’s a celebration of the incredible people who make up the United Ability community all year round. What a gift it was to gather together and celebrate our families and participants, honor those who make a difference, and recognize the dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners who make our programs and services possible.

Together with your help we:

🎉 celebrated 3 incredible honorees
🎟️ sold 64 auction items
💙 had 196 employees and their guests in attendance
✨ were joined by 550+ community members
🎪 And have raised over $423,700 so far for United Ability!

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this year’s Journey of Hope possible. And while the circus may only perform with us one night a year, your impact can continue all year long.

Every gift helps provide services, resources, and opportunities for children, adults, and families in our community. So keep the journey going, and head to: https://bit.ly/4gJ611X to donate to Fund A Need today!

Thank you for celebrating with us, believing in our mission, and being such an important part of the United Ability community. We can’t wait to see you again next year! 💙
