What is the difference between Starfire and other organizations serving people with disabilities?
No other organization, locally or nationally, provides the depth and breadth of opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Starfire provides activities consistently and frequently during the evenings and weekends throughout the year. Consistency is a key factor that allows individuals to stay active and interested, avoiding the dangers of social isolation. Starfire’s year-round consistency and evening and weekend outings also provide valuable respite to parents and caregivers. 67% of parents of Starfire members report that Starfire is their only source of respite that they have every month of the year. Starfire also provides activities of interest to people with disabilities. Many other programs concentrate only on sports (basketball, bowling, swimming) and do not offer the wide range of activities that Starfire does. Starfire does not provide just one type of activity, but embraces the interests of every person with a disability by providing arts and crafts, cultural activities,
