Help TEF Dreamers Achieve their Dreams
through Meaningful Engagement!
"It's hard after graduation to find a job where I belong. I'm not cut out for college but I'm still looking for interesting things to do. The Extended Family is for people with autism who can't find a place in the world. I got promoted to Director of Inventory because I'm so great at organizing. The Extended Family provides a place where people with autism help others." Joey, TEF Dreamer
The Extended Family (TEF) provides meaningful activities for adults with intellectual or physical disabilities in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Activities include weighing and packing dried ingredients that can be donated to food pantries. Other projects include creating hand-decorated boxes, tote bags, and cards that are donated with the food products.
Volunteers are needed to assist project facilitators. This is a great opportunity for college students as well as retired teachers, especially those with experience in special education!
Our fastest growing initiative is our Community Giving Cupboard (CGC) project where we provide food products to local food pantries to help support the food insecure residents in our communities. Food products include dried soups, meals-in-a-bag, trail mix, granola, coffee, etc.
Volunteers would:
· Help plan and organize the daily activities.
· Set up on-site workstations for in-person participants.
· Work w/participants to prepare ingredients for food pantry donations.
· Work w/participants on art projects which are integral to CGC donations.
· Assist with inventory management & organization.
· Have fun.
A nonprofit is as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can do more than we can do alone. Let's bring our abilities and passions together to affect real change.
