WEEK 14-June 25, 2020

An Eden II Programs Update We have been so touched by the outpouring of support from our parents, community and friends during these difficult times. From virtual fundraisers to benefit our programs, hundreds of donated meals, gifts for our group homes, we have seen everyone come together in amazing ways to help those we serve. These weekly newsletters have become a testament to all of the positivity you have helped to spread. We hope these weekly updates have been a bright spot in your day as we continue on the path to a "new normal." If there are any stories you would like to share about what your family has been up to during this time, please send your photos to info@eden2.org.
