(Niagara Falls, NY) Empower, a non-profit human services agency supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in WNY, is announcing three upcoming fundraisers to be held in July and August of 2024.
“As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our surrounding community to ensure we can provide the highest possible quality of service at all times to our clients,” Empower CEO Diane Baehre said. “Each donation we receive is split evenly between our education, residential, and vocational departments and helps us purchase new equipment, plan additional events and experiences for our clients, and create better programming that improves the quality of life for the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our care. Every dollar helps Empower continue to provide high quality care, and we are so grateful to many organizations and community members who regularly support our cause.”
