Happy New Year!

As I look forward to everything coming up this year, I am excited to be serving our participants and their families with you!  At the end of 2022, we “moved forward” with our goal of opening our 4th permanent classroom.  Together, we raised over $54,000 to open this classroom 5 days each week.  We are thrilled to expand immediately in this first quarter as we offer learning, growing, leading and leading opportunities.

We are beginning 2023 in celebration, having met our campaign goal, and launching our 20th year anniversary.  Since 2003, Able to Serve has led our community by giving abilities a chance.  From this simple mindset, we created space for adults with disabilities to expand their horizons beyond high school and reach their full potential. Our space became the place for local adults from Wake and Johnston counties to learn and grow.  

You have witnessed the impact of our work through the smiles of our participants, thriving in their community because they are seen at Able to Serve.  We see you too, and invite you to watch where we grow from here as we celebrate all that God continues to do.

Join us online each month as we celebrate our 20th year, sharing our story and having fun with our participants, families and community partners.  Mark your calendar now to attend our key celebration, The Able to Serve Benefit, on September 21st.

I look forward to everything we will enjoy together, celebrating how we are all Able to Serve.

With gratitude, 

Carlton McDaniel Jr.
