Our Services

Community Day Services are available to individuals with intellectual disabilities who are at least 18 years
of age. Training is provided in such areas as motor development, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating,
language, reading, writing, productive vocational activities and the reduction of maladaptive behavior.
Community integration activities are a focus.

Program hours are from 9:30am to 2:30pm Monday through Friday, with the exception of holidays and
in-service days. We accept both private pay and Medicaid Waiver funded individuals. Part-time attendance
is accepted on a case by case basis. All transportation and programming services are provided by RRAF
employed staff.

Self-Directed Services are available to those with Home Based Support (HBS) funding, who also attend
our Community Day Services program. By providing self-directed services, RRAF can assist individuals
and their families in arranging the services they need, and managing their budget to assure those needs
are met. Family chosen Personal Support Workers provide the needed in-home services.

The Rotary Foundation

Our guest speaker was fellow Rotarian Bill Kmiecik who brought us up to date of the work of the Foundation and the importance of individual Rotarians continuing their support.

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.

During the past 100 years, the Foundation has spent $3 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.

With your help, we can make lives better in your community and around the world.

Why should I donate to The Rotary Foundation?

Your donation makes a difference to those who need our help most. More than 90 percent of donations go directly to supporting our service projects around the world.

How does The Rotary Foundation use donations?

Our 35,000 clubs carry out sustainable service projects that support our six causes. With donations like yours, we’ve wiped out 99.9 percent of all polio cases. Your donation also trains future peacemakers, supports clean water, and strengthens local economies.

What impact can one donation have?

It can save a life. A child can be protected from polio with as little as 60 cents. Our partners make your donation go even further. For every $1 Rotary commits to polio eradication, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $2.
