“Why I Give”: Stories of Generosity That Change Lives
At Able to Serve, we often talk about transformation—the incredible ways our participants grow in confidence, discover new skills, and find genuine community. But behind every success story, every moment of breakthrough, every smile of belonging, there’s another story worth telling: the story of generous people who make it all possible.
The Heart of Our Mission
Our “Why I Give” video captures something beautiful and essential—the voices of community members who have chosen to invest their time, talents, and resources into the lives of individuals with disabilities. Each testimony reveals a unique motivation, a personal connection, and a deep commitment to seeing every person reach their God-given potential.
What makes these stories so powerful? They remind us that Able to Serve isn’t just a program—it’s a community built on shared values, collective generosity, and the belief that everyone deserves a place where they belong.
The Gift That Multiplies
When you watch the video, you’ll hear from donors who give in ways that can’t be measured in dollars. They show up week after week to build relationships. They share their unique talents through skill workshops and activities. They’re simply a consistent, caring presence in our participants’ lives.
Here’s what our volunteers consistently discover: what they receive back is multiplied to match their generous spirit of giving. The relationships you’ll build, the joy you’ll experience, the perspective you’ll gain—these gifts are immeasurable. Our participants have so much to teach about authenticity, resilience, gratitude, and living fully in each moment.
Ways You Can Serve
We understand that everyone has different schedules and availability. That’s why we offer complete flexibility—come every day or any day that works for you. Give a couple of hours or stay for a full day. Join us on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, or whatever combination fits your life. Help with activities, play games, or simply be a friendly presence.
- Special Events: Support celebrations like our Christmas Party, Valentine’s and Fall dances, SERVE Week, Bible Camp Week or ATS Games.
- Share Your Talents: Lead skills workshops in art, music, sports, or any skill you’re passionate about.
- Behind-the-Scenes: Help with facility maintenance, administrative tasks, or organizing supplies.
Your Invitation
Watch the “Why I Give” video and hear directly from community members about what motivates their generosity. Then ask yourself: What will inspire you to join this community of generous servants?
Maybe it’s the desire to make a tangible difference. Maybe it’s wanting to use your gifts in meaningful ways. Or maybe you simply want to experience the joy that comes from authentic relationships with people who will change your perspective on what truly matters.
We promise that what you receive will be multiplied to match—and exceed—your generous spirit of giving. Any amount of time you can give is greatly appreciated and will make a real difference in the lives of our participants.
