"When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower." 

                                                                        -Alexander den Heijer


"When I first started working with The Extended Family I was hesitant, but now I am comfortable. I was desperately lonely, but now I am much nearer my best self with this noble effort. This productive work helps me develop a real mastery of myself. I am part of a happy team in action, in a peaceful, ​hopeful place."    

Sean E, TEF Dreamer

meaningful engagement community classes

Our Meaningful Engagement classes open the possibilities for all adults to learn to create new products for our neighbors in need. No experience is necessary, work at your own pace in a stress-free, social and fun environment. Participants learn a variety of skills, including how to be a valuable contributing member of your local community. Classes are ongoing, join any time.

The Power of Dreams

Life is about working toward making our dreams a reality.


We believe each of us dreams of belonging, making friends, finding sanctuary in a joyful environment where you are seen, heard, valued, respected, included and celebrated. 


All the while making a difference in the lives of others. 


Our Dreamers have created such a place because it's about what you can do, not about what you can't do. In the words of one of our Founding Dreamers: 

“We find opportunities for you to be your best self.”


 Come and join us, make your own path, follow your own dream.

Where individuals with and without disabilities come together to lift up others

Food insecurity is growing at an alarming rate and too many of our neighbors are unable to put food on the table. Our local Food Pantries are experiencing the stress of meeting the weekly numbers of increasing families in need of relief. And did you know that sadly there are too many students who are not getting nutritious meals on the weekends and during school vacations? There are 177 days when students are out of school, placing a burden on families who are struggling to put adequate food on the table.


Be part of the solution! Join our Community Giving Cupboard initiative because each of us can make a difference in our communities.

"The Extended Family truly lives up to its name: my daughter feels at home the minute she arrives. Leigh has made new friends, developed new skills, and completed projects earmarked for essential workers and at-risk families in our community. The staff is uniquely talented at nurturing her creativity, fostering her independent skills, and growing her confidence. What matters above all is that Leigh can't wait to get to The Extended Family and is greeted with a big hug when she arrives."         Wendy B

Our fundamental belief is that exceptional individuals make the world a better place when given the chance!
