🎆✨ FIREWORKS WITH A PURPOSE ✨🎆

Last year, because of our amazing community, we provided FREE lunches to over 300 adults with developmental disabilities at Special Friends Day during the Kern County Fair.

This year, we’re on a mission to double or even triple that number! ❤️

🎇 Purchase your fireworks and help us feed more individuals at the 2026 Special Friends Day.
🎟️ Every fireworks purchase is automatically entered into our raffle giveaways!
📍 Find us at 8450 Granite Falls Dr. (behind the Rosedale Walmart). In the Senor Pepe’s parking lot.

Every share, every tag, and every purchase helps us create a more inclusive and memorable experience for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Shout out to our incredible volunteers who showed up this weekend for our Down Syndrome Day event 💙

We are so grateful for your time, energy, and heart—you made this event so special!

A very special shoutout to our amazing director at H.E.A.R.T.S Connection for holding it down at the check-in table. She not only shows up for our clients every single day, but still finds a way to show up and support events like this.

This is what true dedication looks like, and we are so lucky to have her 🤍
