A New Years Message from Your Jubilee Family

Celebrating Accomplishments & Looking Forward with Determination

Together we are achieving great things for the more than 200 people with disabilities who rely on Jubilee to successfully live independently. New Years is always a wonderful moment to reflect, take stock of what we’ve accomplished, and look ahead.

In 2025, Jubilee:

  • Helped 22 people, like Christina, move to live in their dream place.
  • Celebrated the one-year anniversary of The Academy at Jubilee. Thank you to the 30 organizations who sent learners to 182 classes in our first year!
  • Fully remodeled a Jubilee-owned home for people with disabilities, thanks to your generosity.  
  • Hosted three summer vacations for approximately 90 people who rely on Jubilee to strengthen friendships and bring joy.
  • Received an Outstanding DSP Award from the state government for Direct Support Professional Olufemi (Femi) Okunlola.

With support from our frontline workforce, Jubilee community members celebrated their successes in 2025. Please join us in celebrating a few of their achievements!

We’re entering 2026 with confidence that the strong foundation we’ve built will help us navigate challenges in the year ahead. We’re planning big things: a second home renovation is about to begin and we’re expanding our Academy trainings. Most exciting: we’re growing to admit more people to our services. Thank you for all you do to make our community a welcoming and inclusive place where all people feel seen and celebrated.
