The Lima Kiwanis Club is celebrating Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month by highlighting its Aktion Club, which provides adults with developmental disabilities opportunities to serve their community. Members participate in local volunteer efforts while building connections and a sense of belonging.
Next week is the annual chicken barbeque for the Allen County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Each year the money raised has a specific project it goes towards. This year is the All Abilities Playgrounds and their upkeep. The group sells thousands of meals each year and hopes to meet their goal of 3,500 dinners. The fundraiser wouldn't be possible without the support of the community in many ways.
