Autism Acres
Autism Acres is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment for people and families who are impacted by special needs. We desire to build a community where we can all share life together. While this is not a religious organization it is run by believers. Therefore, our primary goal is to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are not here to judge but to love and serve others where they are at, and for who they are. We do not discriminate against age, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Here at Autism Acres, we desire for all people to feel loved, wanted, seen, and heard. Come here to play and stick around to connect. This is a place for special needs families to connect and belong, where your kids can feel safe to be who they are, and you will never have to apologize for who your kids are!
