Banetta is our final interviewee for our Disability Pride Month series! What Banetta loves about the Babcock Center is the activities she gets to do outside of the workshop and in the community.

Banetta enjoys her games on her ipad and PS5, she loves chatting on the phone, and has numerous TV shows she enjoys to watch in her free time. One big goal that she has to get herself a job at Walmart so that she can start earning more money for herself!

Thank you for getting to know Banetta and all our other supported individuals at the Babcock Center! Your support in watching and commenting on our videos has made a huge impact!

Meet Christian who loves learning more about how to be independent and giving to the community!

Christian is very thankful for the items he has - especially his closet full of shoes! He has built many meaningful relationships at the Babcock Center, the biggest one being his girlfriend.

Thank you to Christian for sharing a little bit about himself! As the month of July is coming to a close, stick around to meet a few more people supported by the Babcock Center!

Meet Deborah from the Babcock Center!

Deborah has many hobbies that she enjoys. She loves taking care of plants and wants to have her own garden, she likes to use beads to create jewlery, and she is proud of the pillows that she has made and been able to sell. Deborah keeps herself busy with all the crafting hobbies!

Deborah would enjoy to one day participate in a wheelchair race. When that happens we will be cheering her on!

Thank you to everyone who takes a little bit of time to learn a little bit more about some of our wonderful supported individuals at the Babcock Center

Our William Reese Workshop had an amazing time visiting Eudora Wildlife Park this past week! πŸ¦˜πŸ¦™

From meeting and feeding exotic animals to enjoying a trailer ride through the park, it was a day full of fun and learning.

Community outings like these create opportunities for our supported individuals to explore new experiences, build confidence, and connect with the community around them. We're grateful to our workshop teams for making meaningful experiences like this possible! πŸ’™
