Special Needs Programs & Events

Life and social skills are taught through this weekly painting class that also provides a time for devotion and social interaction.

Ladies with special needs learn skills to help them at home, work, and at social gatherings through crafts, service projects, fun activities, cooking, and food preparation.

GIFT families celebrate together surrounded by those who love them. Families dine together and enjoy applauding our talented GIFT students.

GIFT families receive the supplies they need to work on a craft together. Projects often bless those in our community such as designing note cards for seniors at a care center
