What a special evening we shared at Stevens Center's 3rd Annual Friendsgiving. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and welcome new ones; all coming together for food, community, and inclusion.

This year's event wouldn't have been possible without the incredible partnership of Central Carolina Academy. A huge thank you to their dedicated staff and enthusiastic student volunteers, whose hard work and spirit helped create a memorable night for the Sanford Community.

We also extend our gratitude to our generous community partners: Food Lion, Burt's Dumpsters, Ron's Barn - Sanford Location, and Elbert McLean of McLean Properties Real Estate. Your kindness and support are invaluable to Stevens Center and our mission.

Friendsgiving reminds us of the power of community and the joy of coming together. We are so thankful for the opportunity to serve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, to foster meaningful connections, and to build a place where everyone feels valued and included. Thank you for being a part of the Stevens Center family. We will see you next year.
