The Truman Charities Annual Halloween Party is back! On October 28th from 6 to 10 PM, Truman Charities is hosting their spectacular event to support Main Street, an organization that’s changing the lives of people with disabilities and inspiring change within the community and beyond.
After her son reached adulthood and lost access to many programs offered to people with disabilities, Main Street founder Jillian Copeland was troubled by the lack of opportunities available to him and decided to take action. Main Street was created to provide affordable and accessible housing with a community of support, thus empowering those with disabilities by allowing them to pave their own way to independence.
Main Street’s ADA-compliant apartment complex is one of the first of its kind, featuring their Soulfull Cafe, a fitness center, art gallery, classrooms and more. And the community is not just available to Main Street residents — anyone who wants to be part of the community can become a Main Street member and attend their weekly events or join virtual classes to learn a new skill, explore their artistic side, or just make friends.
Their approach to inclusion and accessibility has made a huge impact on their community, and Main Street’s model is now being adapted around the country. However, there’s so much more the organization is trying to accomplish.
Tune in now to find out how you can support Main Street’s mission!
Be sure to join host Jamie Truman and Jillian Copeland this October 28th at Tommy Joe’s in Bethesda, MD for the Truman Charities Halloween Bash! They’ll be great food and amazing auction items you don’t want to miss. Register for the event at https://www.trumancharities.com/.
