Bridging Abilities to Achievement
We strive to build connections with the people we provide support to. Here are some responses from the people we support and staff when asked what they most love about PDXconnects.
They help me manage my life and be as independent as possible. From support with money, transportation, grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning — to taking me on trips, even to the beach and overnight getaways — they’re always there. They’ve supported me in moving out for the first time in my life. They’re truly caring people.
