Mimi’s Mission – Autism Acceptance Group
Description:
Mimi’s Mission is a local 501c3 non-profit organization that has been helping Downriver families in need since 2015. The organization has evolved over the years and in 2021, our focus and mission are to aid community members who have children on the Autism Spectrum. Through generous donations from businesses and individuals, Mimi’s Missions is often able to provide help and resources to families who have these children with special needs. Our programs do not offer financial or monthly assistance, but instead give specific and often immediate assistance to these families.
Throughout each year, Mimi’s Mission runs programs geared at helping Downriver families. Our Autism Acceptance Group (formerly Puzzle Parents) program is a parent-driven support group for Downriver families with children on Autism spectrum and offers meetings, demonstrations, and activities twice a month and special events in the winter and fall. In addition, we also accept donations of food that children can easily prepare by themselves without use of a stove for our Blessings Box. headquarters for families who may need them. While those are the main on-going programs Mimi’s Mission presents, we add many more during the year including toy drives, children’s food drives, our popular Secret Santa holiday assistance program for Downriver families with a child with a special need or disability, and so many more.
Please take your time reviewing our site for a better understanding of what we do and ways you can help! We appreciate the generous and continued support of our Downriver community members with special needs children!
