Our social events are free so that all adults with disabilities can attend without the added pressure of paying for the outing. When you attend a gathering, all purchases are the participant’s responsibility. However, you are not required to purchase anything at our gatherings, so this event can always be free as well if needed. We hope that the lack of financial burden will allow us to get more people involved with Belong Co. and allow everyone to enjoy our events with ease.
