Capital Campaign

An Investment in Families for Generations

This is more than a capital campaign. It is a long-term investment in disability access, inclusion, children, families, and a stronger Short Creek community where people of all abilities can find opportunity, support, connection, and belonging.

Every gift — at every level — helps move the vision toward a permanent, year-round Family Resource & Community Center designed to meet many needs in one place and grow with families for generations to come.
