Center of Hope Foundation, Inc.

The Center of Hope Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and opportunities for adults and children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). Established in 1956, the organization offers a range of services including day habilitation programs, vocational skills training, employment placement, and in-home support for over 500 individuals.

As a chapter of the National organization The Arc, the Center emphasizes inclusivity and diversity, serving individuals from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Their mission is to empower people with disabilities and their families, enabling them to become contributing members of their communities and lead fulfilling lives.

In addition to its non-funded programs such as sports & recreation, emergency relief, food pantry, and holiday giving program, the Center has established for-profit and programmatic businesses since 1986. These enterprises not only provide job training for community placement but also generate additional income to support the organization's initiatives.

The organization's commitment to inclusivity is further evident through their offering of vacation fun clubs and summer camps for children with disabilities, creating an inclusive experience for all. The Foundation's dedication to its #AchieveWithUs slogan is apparent in its holistic approach to providing support and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
