Who Needs Your Support?

1. Options needs your support in order to assist people with disabilities to live, work, and have fun in their communities.
2. The community needs your support, in order to become educated about Options and the individuals who receive our services.
3. Options' customers need your support.  They are your neighbors, colleagues, customers, and friends.

Why Your Support Is Needed:

• To ensure people can live in their own homes, and are supported by their community.
• To eliminate the unnecessary cost of institutionalization.
• To improve understanding and awareness throughout the community.
• Because state and federal funding for services is very limited and does not allow Options to provide supports for the many things that make life worthwhile.
• Because many individuals do not have adequate funding for the services they need.
• Proceeds from the Art of Chocolate and Chocolate Fest will enable Options to supplement its projects and programs for people with disabilities and South Central Indiana.
