On Wednesday, Exceed's clients at Oatfield learned to make taco salad in a cooking class taught by our very own board member, Helene Siegfried. We want to extend a huge thank you to Tillamook County Creamery Association for the generous grant that made this experience possible!#cookingclass #learntocook #accessiblityforall #accessibilitymatters #exceedexpectations #buildcommunity #disabilityawareness #pnwnonprofit #portlandor

Back in April, Exceed hosted some visitors from Starkey, a nonprofit organization based in Kansas with a mission to enrich the lives of those with intellectual disabilities. Staff visited our Mallard office to deepen relationships, observe programs, and learn more about Exceed's evolution!You may remember reading about members of Exceed's team, Debbie Edlund and Carrie Dickson, visiting Starkey's facilities in our Winter Impact Report earlier this year. As a mentor organization, we've been fortunate to share what we've learned about the transition to 100% community-based programming. Keep an eye out for future updates on our partnership!#buildingrelationships #communitysupport #accessibleemployment #diverseabilities #accessibilityforall #portlandnonprofit #portlandor
