“Grateful to be part of an organization that gives back. Thankful to be part of this opportunity.”

"It was a totally new experience for me to work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and I was nervous before I went. Once I was there, I realized that this group of people was just like any other, and that there was nothing to be nervous about. I made many quick friends that afternoon and had a ton of fun!"

"It is really hard not to feel extreme gratitude and when we are done today it will be hard not to have a different perspective on life."

"We all have things that stress us out, but this puts in perspective how some of our stresses are insignificant. Anyone can [donate] but giving of yourself is inspiring."

"It was only one business day, but I felt like we made such a difference!"

"I am honored to be here. I am new to the organization and it is amazing to be part of an organization who makes giving back part of its core values."

"My most rewarding moment was spending time with a young man with whom I struggled to communicate all afternoon. After pointing to the number 5 on his bingo board, we counted together until we made it all the way to 5. I felt a strong connection with him because we learned how to communicate with one another, even with his verbal restrictions."

"The best part of my experience was seeing the laughter and smiles on the faces of the people whose lives are so different, and knowing that I had a part in making that happen."
