Dear Friends of Citizen Advocates,

As I look back on 2025, one word comes to mind: Community.

Because of your generosity, this wasn’t just a year of maintaining our programs—it was a year of deepening the relationships that make our work so vital. Being a small organization means every dollar and every volunteer hour has a direct impact on a neighbor’s life.

2025: A Year of Connection Thanks to you, we provided consistent, life-enriching opportunities for people with disabilities in Washington County. Whether it was through our respite care, our music sessions, bingo or our creative arts & crafts programs, we saw smiles, friendships, and relief for caregivers.

Looking Ahead: An Exciting 2026 We are dreaming big for the coming year. Our goal is to ensure that finances never stand in the way of friendship. That is why we are launching our 2026 Quarterly Event Series—four major community gatherings (dances and picnics!) with a ticket price of just $5.

None of this happens without you. Thank you for believing that everyone in Washington County deserves a place to belong.

With gratitude,

​

Jessica
Executive Director
