December in #EmploymentServices is a time we reflect on so many great stories from the last year. Let’s start with CrC—who is truly an inspiration. Seen here in 2 of her 3 jobs, CrC also attends school part-time and is a tireless advocate for change in the disability sector. Go CrC! 🤩❤️ #BOTY2025

#EvanmorrAcres wouldn’t be the amazing success it is without our amazing supporters! We’re flashing back to sunny September for this one, when a team from #CoastalCommunityCreditUnion spent a fun day with us helping out at the farm! 🚜❤️ #HelpingHands #CommunitySupport #FarmDay

One great thing about living on the west coast in a temperate climate is still being able to have fun outdoors (and it not being too cold…YET! 😂). Here’s JM from #HomeShare enjoying a little fishing! 🎣👍 #IslandLife #OutdoorFun #Fishing

2/2: For many people with diversabilities, #SelfEmployment provides the right mix of flexibility and opportunity. We were so excited to feature KD’s nature photography at the night market this year, and can’t wait to see where she goes with it! Here’s a small selection of her photos. 📸❤️
