Can Do Canines
Can Do Canines helps enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities by creating mutually beneficial partnerships with specially trained dogs. Since 1989, they have been providing assistance dogs to people with disabilities, free of charge. Their fully-trained dogs, sometimes adopted from local shelters, are provided to people with mobility challenges, hearing impaired, seizure disorders, children with autism, and other conditions.
Perspectives
Perspectives helps local mothers that are affected by poverty, addiction, trauma, or abuse. They do this by providing tools and access to resources to empower herself and rebuild her family in a healthy environment. They also help at-risk children with academics, better nutrition, summer recreation programs, student volunteering, and more.
