All of us at Aaron’s Acres feel fortunate to have been involved with the Gifts That Give Hope Fair over the past several years. The support that we have received through the GTGH event has helped our programs in various ways, ensuring that we are able to continue to provide meaningful experiences for children and young adults with disabilities. Through this event we can also help to raise awareness about varying abilities and the importance of providing opportunities for everyone to participate, contributing to the wellbeing of our community. The GTGH event provides so many exciting opportunities for us to network and learn from other organizations and individuals as well. Hearing about the positive impacts that are being made locally, nationally and internationally is truly inspiring. Thank you for organizing this important day of giving, connection and community.  We are thrilled to be a part of it!

Aaron’s Acres has always enjoyed participating in the GTGH event as it is a day of raising awareness of a diverse group of non-profit organizations, locally, nationally and globally, all doing impactful work.  Learning about the various programs that are being offered to help different groups of people is inspiring and gives hope for a better world for all of us.  Seeing families visit the tables and having their children ask questions and ultimately deciding which organizations they wish to support is wonderful as it is empowering young people to learn about giving back and having them be a part of this opportunity.  Lastly, it is a day in which organizations can connect with one another and explore possible collaborative work moving forward. Throughout the years, we have created new relationships and connections as a result of first connecting at a GTGH event.  This event truly results in a stronger community for everyone!
