Congratulations to Meijer for winning this year's Remarkable Corporate Partner award for their incredible generosity!

We are deeply grateful for their commitment to empowering our community.

The Indianapolis Colts paid a visit to our newly constructed Damar Village Activity Center. Zaire Franklin and Luke Rhodes made the day unforgettable by engaging with everyone and posing for photos. We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Colts and extend a huge thank you to the players for making this visit so special! We wish them luck on the road today as they play against the Jets in New York. Go Colts!

We’re excited to celebrate an incredible staff member from our main campus who has transformed the way we approach physical education and extracurricular activities. As a Recreation Assistant, Steve is one of the few team members who actively plays sports with the kids. He is loving, dependable, and passionate, using these qualities to help our clients stay physically active and healthy. Steve continually finds new ways to enhance each client’s experience at Damar. Beyond his regular duties, he also volunteers as a DJ at our events, making him one of our most versatile and dedicated employees. Damar wouldn’t be the same without Steve. Join us in celebrating his amazing work!

This holiday season we have many volunteer opportunities. We recruit over 200 volunteers to make our holiday events for our clients and the public as successful as possible. If you're interested in volunteering this winter, visit damar.org/volunteer.
