Welcome!
We count on people like you to fulfill our mission of providing advocacy, services, and education for people with disabilities. We couldn't do it without you. This newsletter will keep you updated on our events and programs. Learn how to continue your support of Independence, Inc. here.

Dear Friend,

Since 1978, Independence, Inc. has provided support and services to people with disabilities.  We have served as a resource in Lawrence and Northeast Kansas through our mission of providing advocacy, education, and services not only for people with disabilities, but for our entire community. 

There are three things you can do to support Independence, Inc.'s mission to provide crucial services so that people of all abilities can live independently in their own homes, work in our communities, and have more opportunities to learn:

  1. Remember us in your estate planning.  Let us help you plan your legacy.
  2. Make a secure tax deductible donation online right now at www.independenceinc.org.
  3. Consider corporate or individual sponsorship.  Inquire today about special opportunities to sponsor one of our signature programs. 

For example:

Our Youth Employment Program (YEP) is a program that matches youth with disabilities 15-21 years of age with members of the business community for job skill development. Independence, Inc. serves as the temporary employment agency for the participants. We pay all wages, employee taxes, and worker's compensation insurance for the youth. In return, the business provides the opportunity for the young person to gain valuable work experience necessary for future employment goals.


 

As most of our services are not fee-based, your support goes a long way in helping maintain all of the successful services we offer.  Thank you for continuing to invest so generously.
