rEcess is a monthly respite program provided for special-needs children. These events are typically hosted by churches longing to serve families within their own community. Volunteers provide one-to-one attention for children with special needs. Siblings are also invited to participate in the "sibling track" which provides them with their own exciting activities.
The program allows parents a night off so they can do whatever they want or need. Our volunteers strive to get to know the families and look forward to these times.
rEcess provides a starting point for building communities of support around these families, allows volunteers an opportunity to learn and love and, honestly, it's just a lot of fun.
