Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, but we like to be ahead of the crowd—so we’re starting Giving Tuesday on a Monday. Very on-brand for 210 Collective, where our Citizens don’t wait for the world to notice them. We’re following their lead and not waiting for Tuesday!

One of our citizens wrote us this song this week and if you listen , you can hear why your generosity matters so deeply. (visit instagram.com/210collectivelkn to listen)

This year, your giving opened the doors of meaningful work, steady paychecks, and real friendships for adults with intellectual disabilities right here in Lake Norman.

Because of donors like you, our Citizens walk into work each morning confident, excited, and proud of the products they’ve created.

Kate’s song lyrics say it best:

I’m so thankful I get to work.
Thank you for what you do.
I’m so grateful you started this program and made this possible.
You make me feel like I have a place to go during the week.
This really is the best work I’ve ever been to.

This is what your giving does. This is the impact. This is why it matters.

WHY GIVE?
Because purpose matters.
Because belonging changes everything.
Because adults with intellectual disabilities deserve meaningful work, not just caretaking.
Because there are more Citizens on our waiting list who want to join us.
Because the world needs more places like this.
Your donation today helps us make room for more Citizens tomorrow.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for this community.
Give early. Give joyfully. Give because your gift changes real lives.

Help us continue this life-giving work!
