Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month
This April, we are highlighting the experiences of women and men in our residential program. With 24/7 staff support, Eden homes empower adults with autism to continue learning and growing, even in their senior years.
Developing life skills, such as cooking and personal hygiene, is fundamental to our community-based residences. Supported employment, volunteering, and weekend activities enrich residents’ lives and mirror the experiences of their neurotypical peers.
Help us to reach our goal of raising $100,000 this April to support our residential program and services with a gift to our spring appeal.
Wear Your Eden Gear With Pride!
If you make a gift of any amount to Eden this April, you will receive an Eden popper keychain. Individuals who donate $125 or more will also receive an exclusive Eden hat!

Your Gift In Action
Over the past year, donations helped fund:
A New Residence
Donors helped fund the purchase and renovation of a 3,400-square-foot residence in Robbinsville. The house was fully renovated to be ADA accessible, allowing residents to age in place as best possible. Four women moved into the house, where they build on daily living skills and enjoy leisure activities with 24/7 support from Eden staff.
Home Improvements
With over 30 residences, we continuously work to maintain and improve each home. Projects such as new roofs, whole-house generators, interior flooring upgrades, and bathroom renovations are examples of projects that have been funded by donations and ensure houses are safe and meet our residents’ needs.
Community Activities
Art classes, mini golf, bowling, horseback riding, trips to the theatre, and exploring new towns are just a few of the activities residents enjoy. Engaging in the community is fundamental to a full, rich life and Eden’s mission.
These are just a few of the many ways your gifts help provide additional services and programs beyond what state and federal funding provide. Donors like you play an invaluable role in our organization’s mission.
