All Aboard has ALWAYS been a place where our participants come to feel belonging, to laugh with friends, to learn new things. All Aboard has its own spirit - it is a place of "connection." Everyone likes and needs to feel connected. At All Aboard, there are always sounds of laughter in the background, singing, shouts of "Bingo!" and pals joking with pals.

However, the sounds of connection have been silent these past six months. By mid-March, the Board of Directors had to make the difficult decision to close All Aboard for the safety of our participants, staff, and volunteers. All staff were furloughed but, we thought at the time, that it would only be for a few weeks. Half a year later, All Aboard is still closed and awaiting the opportunity to re-open in phase 4. All Aboard is committed to being here in the future for all of our nearly 300 participants. We will re-open better than before and with safety measures in place.
By the grace of a PPP loan, staff have been coming to All Aboard for the past 6 weeks and have reorganized and repainted so that when we finally do get to re-open, All Aboard will have a bright new energy to keep up with all the energy the participants will surely bring. The center looks shiny and new! We can’t hardly wait to show you our new entry way, our new great room, and our new theater room!

Even though 2020 has been a challenging one for most of us, All Aboard and its participants are very resilient. We have not heard any reports of our participants coping with the coronavirus, which is a huge relief, and all staff and volunteers are healthy. We hope that you and your loved ones are doing well during this difficult time and that you have found ways to embrace the changes through positive activities.
The Wreath Sale is an annual fundraiser for All Aboard, and it is more crucial this year than ever before. This year, we are focused on re-opening All Aboard with as many safety precautions in place as possible, and this comes at an unexpected, but necessary, expense. We are adding air purifiers and other safety measures to keep everyone who comes to All Aboard healthy. We are in this together!
Thank you in advance for sharing the fundraiser with your friends and family, and for your support of All Aboard.
