How you can help

Your support - whether given in time, talent, or treasure - provides life-changing experiences for youth and adults with disabilities. Your support helps us upgrade equipment, maintain and improve our facility, increase staff training, and enhance the quality of services. Your support provides more options and more opportunities for our clients - empowering them to live happier, healthier, more productive lives. If you've given a gift, joined us for our 5k Fun Run, volunteered, or sponsored our summer auction, we are forever grateful for your role in our community!

Thank you to every single donation helps us fulfill our mission. Your donations help ensure that programs and opportunities remain strong and accessible to the children and adults with disabilities of our region.

Tesh has two major events each year. The 5K Fun Run on January 1, 2023, and a summer Benefit event and auction are scheduled for July 27, 2023. We would love to have you join us! We are also looking for sponsors for each event.

Made with very durable PVC links, these mats have been known to last over ten years! The design of your choice can include the name or logo of your business, your initials, or a custom design. Your purchase employs Tesh clients!

Volunteers are an integral part of Tesh and play an invaluable role in the opportunities and services we are able to provide. Volunteer roles range from office help, assisting with events, or helping with building and vehicle maintenance.

Tesh provides job training and employment opportunities to people with disabilities. We are able to place people in positions throughout the community, where they are able to earn a paycheck and maintain their independence and dignity. Become a business partner.

Every dollar makes a difference!

Donors and sponsors help fulfill our mission. 100% of your donation goes toward serving the clients. You can make a big impact on children and adults with disabilities in our community. It is our mission to provide opportunities that allow for people with disabilities of all ages greater independence, self-sufficiency, and participation in our community. There are many ways to give that will both help us continue to offer life-changing services and programs, and help you meet your personal charitable goals.

Thank you to every single donation - whether it be a recurring donation, a grant from a community foundation, or an event sponsorship - helps us fulfill our mission. Our community of support includes organizations that provide grant dollars and sponsorships to help fund initiatives, programs, and building needs. Our work wouldn't be possible without the support of our community. Thank you to our major donors, community foundations and organizations, and local businesses:

Charitable donations when made to a qualifying charity like Tesh result in a deduction on individual and corporate Federal and State tax returns. In addition, donations to Tesh, Inc. qualify you to receive a youth and rehabilitation facility state tax credit, even if you do not itemize.
