Walking Club
Through grant funding with RHA we were able to purchase fitbits for each of the people we support. We have a monthly contest for most steps and the winner gets a small prize. We walk daily as a group and encourage members of the community to join us.
Able Sail
In conjunction with the Pelican Yacht Club we have the Able Sail Program. Sailing is in a Martin 16 sailboat and is available to all ages and abilities. The program will resume in the summer 2025. Stay tuned for available dates.
Thrift Store
The people we support work diligently Monday-Friday at the day service program in our Secret Seconds ‘n More store, which provides a clean, bright, and cheerful shopping experience. A café, where we sell specialty coffee and drinks along with our café menu – soup/sandwich, wraps, rice bowls & sweet treats. This work provides life skills development and involvement with the public and community.
