Connect With Others
Connect With Others
We started this organization because we realized how many people unfortunately are affected by illnesses or inhibitions that prohibit them from sustaining a "regular" lifestyle with many close relationships. They don't have much company and aren't allowed to have as many visitors to meet in person, especially during the pandemic. Because of this, we want to ensure that everyone can be "interconnectd" by providing them with the chance to speak with people, make new friends, and let them have a good time. If you would like to sign up or sign your child up, please visit the "Get Connected" page!
