Give to the max 2024

Jam HOPE is working to partner with GRACE, Inc. to better serve families in need. GRACE (Granting Respite and Care for the Extraordinary) is a local non-profit that hosts children with special needs and their families for supported play and education. These children and their siblings enjoy a non-judgmental place to play with a buddy (trained GRACE volunteer) while their parents get to learn, connect and build friendships in an educational community group called "The Chat". The Chat provides a catered dinner, informational and supportive presentation by an experienced speaker, a collaborative round table discussion and most of all, time for parents to build relationships and connect.  

This Friends & Fun event is a 2-hour open gym and sensory friendly play. GRACE's trained volunteers are excited to guide your child through a number of gross motor, fine motor, and sensory activities designed to encourage communication, interaction, and fun. During Friends and Fun, caregivers have the option to enjoy a speaker or panel, refreshments, and round table discussion.
