Touching Hearts

Someone like you can touch the heart of a man, woman or child with developmental disabilities. By doing so, you will discover your heart is touched in return.

Who are these people that touch so many lives? Some are 6-year old Sunday School students, others are 90-year old community members, but most fall somewhere in-between. Despite their differences, they all have this in common: a desire to help Bethesda continue its mission to support people with developmental disabilities. Their hearts are in the same place.
