Without generous donors like you, many individuals in our community would not have gifts to open this Christmas. The holidays can be a particularly isolating time for our most vulnerable populations. In the best of times, youth and adults with developmental disabilities living in residential homes do not always have loved ones or friends to help share the spirit of the holiday season. Often, they have needs and wants that go unfilled.

Northwest Autism Center works with local agencies contracted with the Developmental Disabilities Administration to identify the wishes and needs of those living in residential homes in our community. We’ve listed those wish lists here and invite you to don your elf hat and assist us in ensuring that every individual identified this season receives a gift.

Give a gift, sponsor a home and bring joy to their hearts

With the help and support of the community, Northwest Autism Center provided more than 1,000 gifts in the past three seasons, spreading warmth and caring of everyone that participated.
