https://www.dscba.org/impact-reports/2020/mobile/index.html Please enjoy our 2020 Donor Impact Report. Your generous support in 2020 was essential to our ability to serve our community and allowed us to enter 2021 strong. As you know, we transitioned all programs and services using virtual technology early on in 2020. I am proud to say our staff has been keeping our community supported, empowered, and most importantly connected ever since. Although 2021 will be another year... of unknowns for the DSCBA we are entering the year hopeful. We are serving more people throughout the Bay Area, have developed on-line best practices and we know what is most important to our community during a crisis like Covid-19. The one thing we know to be true regardless of a crisis, is our families and particularly our members with Down syndrome of all ages need us to remain strong and available. What we provide and what we do is essential, and we could not have done it without you. Warmly, Nancy LaBelle, Executive Director DSCBA
