March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month
At the Barbara Olson Center of Hope, we celebrate the abilities, achievements, and everyday victories of the incredible individuals we serve.
We believe every life holds possibility — and when our community chooses inclusion, opportunity grows for everyone.
Join us this month as we celebrate ability, champion independence, and continue building a more inclusive community together.
Facebook Fun and Highlights
Kicking off Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in bright orange, exploring the creativity at the Rockford Art Museum, whipping up mac & cheese and breakfast pizza bagels, pampering with manicures, and parading for Mardi Gras—just another joy-filled month at the Center of Hope!
