SCHOLARSHIPS

Adults and Children with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities (IDD) or Mental Health challenges are at risk for social exclusion, hospitalization, and high rates of incarceration. Several mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions frequently co-occur in individuals with intellectual disability, including ADHD, autism, and depression and anxiety disorders. Blacks and African Americans are more likely to be jailed or imprisoned when I/DD and mental health challenges go unaddressed. This dynamic creates a cycle of social isolation and the negative trickle-down effects of poverty.

STUFF THE TRUCK TOY DRIVE

Many individuals with intellectual and developmental challenges experience Christmas without their families. Many of the individuals we serve have the same excitement as a young child on Christmas morning, yet no opportunity for a true Christmas experience. We want to Stuff the Truck with over 300 toys from December 4th through December 21st to give to these exceptional individuals and make their Christmas one to remember. We will also give toys to other children in need from our very own BUOC Santa Clause. Your monetary donation, or toy pickup and drop off, will assist us in our efforts to put a nice toy or gift under the tree for a child or exceptional individual in need. Drop-off dates and times are to be determined.
