Empowering Lives: Join Us in Creating Meaningful Change Together

Welcome to Child-Adult Resource Services, Inc. (CARS)

Our Mission:

• To empower individuals to have meaningful, practical, and fulfilling lives.
• To empower individuals with the skills to be comfortable in their community.
• To empower individuals to gain the skills to live independently.

Impactful opportunities to provide change; together, we can.

At CARS, we believe in the power of empowerment. Our mission is to provide life-changing opportunities to children and adults with disabilities, empowering them to live the life they choose. Through our programs, we focus on developing essential skills, fostering employment opportunities, and promoting community integration.

Imagine a World of Possibilities

Imagine wanting a job, a beautiful home, friends to share laughter with, and the freedom to explore life's wonders. Now, imagine facing countless obstacles on the path to achieving these dreams. Where do you start? How do you fill out a job application? How do you navigate the world without support? At CARS, we understand these challenges, and we are here to help.

Empowering People. Making the Impossible Possible.

Our tagline embodies our commitment to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We believe that every person deserves the chance to pursue a healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling life. With all our support, they can overcome barriers, make their own choices, and live the life they choose.
