If you’re looking to stretch your legs and empower people of all abilities, you’re going to want to look no farther than Deep River this weekend.
On Saturday, the “Compassion Walk: Paving the Way for People of All Abilities” will kick off at 9 a.m. from the elementary school.
The event is a celebration of inclusion, and all proceeds benefit “a little compassion.”
The nonprofit is the proud recipient of an NBC Project Innovation grant for their work changing the lives of young adults with autism, nurturing their skills with workforce development programs and increasing public acceptance, too.
