❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You from We Stand 4 Something, Inc.! ❤️

First and foremost, we want to sincerely thank everyone who donated to support the 2026 Friday Feast! Your generosity, kindness, and commitment to giving back to our community mean more than words can express.

Unfortunately, we did not receive enough donations to hold the Friday Feast this year. While we are disappointed, we are incredibly grateful for the support we received and remain committed to creating opportunities that bring our community together.

The good news is that your donations will still make a difference! We are looking at using the funds toward next year's Friday Feast and/or hosting another accessible community event earlier in the summer that brings people together.

❤️ You can still help us make the 2027 Friday Feast a reality!

Although this year's event has been canceled, our fundraising efforts will continue! If you would like to contribute toward making next year's Friday Feast possible, we welcome your support. Every donation, regardless of the amount, helps us move closer to our goal.

We need your help to save The Friday Feast this year.

The Friday Feast started back in 2013 in a small rec room in Felton. The idea was simple. We wanted people with disabilities to have somewhere to go during the holiday season where they could enjoy a good meal, be around people who care and feel included.

Because the truth is, not everyone gets to come home for the holidays.

We’ve kept The Friday Feast going all these years because we know how much it means to the people who attend. But this year, we just haven’t gotten enough support to make it happen.

We do want to thank the members who have stepped up and put in the effort to help. It has not gone unnoticed. We just don’t have enough support organizationally or financially to pull this off the way we have in the past.

My wife cooks and donates the food, and over the years we’ve also used our own money and resources to fill in the gaps. We’ve always found a way, but we can’t continue to do the majority of it ourselves.

So before we say The Friday Feast isn’t happening this year, we’re asking our community to come together and help us save it.

If you can donate, you can do so using the link below. If you can’t donate, please share it. Maybe you know a business, organization or someone else who would be willing to support The Friday Feast.

https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/save-this-years-friday-feast

We’re not giving up on The Friday Feast, and if we can’t make it happen this year, we will work toward bringing it back next year.

But we’re not ready to give up on this year just yet.

Not everyone gets to come home for the holidays. Let’s make sure they still have a place where they know they’re thought of.

Come join me as I tackle a very important topic about inclusion specifically during the holidays. This is also a huge reason why The Friday Feast exist. If there are discussions, and conferences about a topic that means it matters to alot of people.

Our next free Well-Being Webinar will be November 4! Join us for a timely conversation on belonging, accessibility, and inclusion during the holiday season with motivational speaker and advocate Emmanuel Jenkins. Learn more: https://iod.unh.edu/event/2026/11/well-being-webinar-can-i-get

The Friday Feast is more than a free holiday dinner. And the truth about why it matters isn't always comfortable to talk about.

Every year, The Friday Feast provides a free holiday meal and a welcoming place for people in our community who may otherwise spend the holiday alone.

Some don't have family. Some don't have anywhere else to go. And some are people with disabilities or complex needs who simply don't get to “go home for the holidays” the way so many of us take for granted.

Too often, they are forgotten.

We've heard directly from the people who come to The Friday Feast about what this day means to them. Some make an incredible effort just to get there, including taking the bus. They look forward to it every year. They're incredibly appreciative because they know they are welcome. They know they are included. They know this holiday is for them, too.

That's why we have continued The Friday Feast since 2013.

It's not about handing someone a plate of food and sending them on their way. It's about making sure people who might otherwise be alone or forgotten during the holidays have somewhere they are genuinely welcomed and included.

This year, The Friday Feast is in danger of not happening.

We need to raise $5,000 to keep it going.

Without enough support, we may have to cancel something that people are already counting on.

If you can donate, please donate. If you're a business or organization that can sponsor Friday Feast, we need you. If you can't give, please share this and help us reach someone who can.

These are real people. They matter. And they deserve to be included in the holidays, too.

Disclaimer: The Friday Feast is open to everyone, it is not just limited to those living with disabilities. It is a community dinner focused on decreasing social isolation during the holidays.

❤️ GOAL: $5,000

🚨 Olmstead Update 🚨

Did the Department of Justice change its approach to Olmstead?

Yes.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it will no longer use its previous Olmstead guidance when enforcing Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The previous guidance explained:
🏠 How the ADA protects people with disabilities from being unnecessarily placed in institutions.
🤝 That states have a responsibility to provide services in the most integrated setting appropriate, such as a person's own home or community.

The DOJ says the guidance is not legally binding and plans to review it. The guidance may be changed or replaced in the future.

What does this mean?
This announcement changes how the DOJ will use its previous guidance when enforcing the ADA. It does not change the text of the ADA or the Olmstead Supreme Court decision. Advocates across the country are closely following these developments and what they may mean for people with disabilities.

Stay informed as we continue sharing updates in plain language.

Today we celebrate the birthday of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)! 🎉♿

For 36 years, the ADA has helped open doors, remove barriers, and protect the civil rights of millions of people with disabilities. While we celebrate the progress that has been made, we also recognize that there is still work to do to ensure every person can fully participate in their community.

The cartoon says:
Happy Birthday, Americans With Disabilities Act!
Signed July 26, 1990

The image features a birthday celebration with people with disabilities, a service dog, and a birthday cake celebrating 36 years of the ADA. Signs throughout the cartoon read:

Equal Access
Equal Opportunity
Full Participation
Equal Dignity
Disability Rights = Civil Rights
Inclusion Belongs to Everyone
Access Creates Community

The cake reads:
"36 Years of a More Accessible, Inclusive America!"

Along the bottom of the cartoon are examples of what the ADA helps make possible:
🏛️ Accessible buildings and spaces
🚌 Accessible transportation
💬 Accessible information and communication
💼 Equal access to jobs
🏫 Accessible schools
🏥 Accessible health care

Thank you, ADA, for helping build a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive America.

❤️ Please share this post to celebrate the ADA and help spread awareness about disability rights and accessibility.
