Individuals with disabilities still struggle to be seen, heard, valued, and included. YOU can be the difference. Together, we can achieve our vision of a community where all individuals with disabilities flourish.

Our focus is all individuals with disabilities as defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act 2010 definition. We support programs and initiatives that: 

(a) empower individuals with disabilities and enlighten our community, (b) bridge gaps in existing programs and services, (c) provide solutions to issues faced by the disabilities community and (d) encourage collaboration among service providers.

Our Programs:

•CAN Talks
•Greenville CAN
•UP Employment Initiative
•Barbara Stone Community Leadership Award 
•Greenville CAN Lunch & Learn Series

BSF History:

In 1968, Barbara brought together Greenville County families and community leaders, including leaders from the school district, Department of Social Services, Vocational Rehabilitation Department, Social Security Commission, and Mental Retardation Commission. They determined that the greatest and most immediate needs were daycare options for children with disabilities and special needs and sheltered workshops for adults with disabilities and special needs. We've been continuing Barbara's important work ever since.
