The Disability Outreach Committee (DOC) is a 501 (c) (3) Non Profit Organization. Our mission is to support and encourage the disabled in our community by providing services to help them live independently and enhance the quality of their lives.
We believe that serving the disabled and treating them with respect, love and fairness not only enhances their sense of self worth, but strengthens their respect for the community in which they live.
We have found that many disabled people in the community feel “invisible.” They may live in the same low-income apartment buildings, or because of the lack of transportation, they are home bound. As a result, many of their needs go unfulfilled. The Disability Outreach Committee is committed to help people with disabilities become visible and achieve goals. We invite you to join us.
MEDIA RELEASE: DOC BACK-TO-SCHOOL EVENT
The Disability Outreach Committee (DOC) is calling on local businesses to help raise the funds needed to sponsor our Back-to-School shopping event for children with disabilities within in our community. DOC’s goal is to sponsor 200 local children with special needs, spending $200 per child.
Each child selected will receive a new coat, pair of shoes, a few outfits of clothing, as well as any school supplies and special needs items they require.
Families will be carefully screened and selected based on income level, home situations and any other circumstances that may apply.
The Disability Outreach Committee believes the Back-to-School program will benefit the special needs children in our community.
