ABLE Supporters
The ABLE staff is so proud of the students and the work they do to develop their Daily Living Skills. Students are learning the essential life skill of cooking. This involves students planning menus, creating shopping lists, completing the purchase of ingredients on community trips, learning measurements, and following recipes. Currently the students are using a microwave, air fryers, and other small appliances to demonstrate their culinary skills. In order to provide the students the practical experience of cooking using an oven and cooktop, ABLE Academy is working to raise the funds needed to install a cooktop and oven. Having these two items installed will expand the students’ experience and provide them with valuable daily living skills. EVERY donation will assist us in reaching the goal of raising the needed funds to install the necessary electrical work and purchase of the ADA approved cooktop and oven. The cost of the needed labor, materials, and ADA oven is $4250. Please consider supporting this project for the students. To Donate Online click the link to the left to donate via paypal.

Obtain a matching gift form and program guidelines from your human resources office. 2.

ABLE Academy will complete the form and forward it to your employer's matching gifts office for processing. Your company will send its matching donation directly to ABLE Academy. Some companies disburse matching gifts on a quarterly or yearly schedule. We will send an acknowledgement letter to you when your matching contributions are received.
