Disability Rights & Resources

Congratulations, Tre' Lee! 🎓

This past weekend, John and Alicia had the opportunity to celebrate Tre' as he graduated from college.

Many of you know Tre' as our former Volunteer of the Year, but his impact on DRR goes far beyond that title. Over the years, he has generously shared his time, energy, and heart with our organization and those we serve.

Congratulations, Tre'! We are so excited for you and cannot wait to see what the future holds. 🎉

Please join us in welcoming Robin White to Disability Rights & Resources as our new Community Engagement Director. We’re glad to have him on the team and look forward to the positive impact he will have at DRR. Welcome, Robin!

Congratulations to Kim and the Empower Me program on another incredible school year! Since October 2022, Empower Me has grown to 17 schools across 7 school systems. So proud of Kim and this program. We are already gearing up for another incredible year! Huge thanks to the Children’s Trust Fund of Alabama for their ongoing support!

This past week, John and Kathy had the opportunity to meet with Carol at the Vulcan Materials Foundation. We are so thankful for their support and continued investment in our agency! The best is yet to come!

John, Kathy, and Marcella had such a great time at The Regions Tradition for the annual Adaptive Golf Clinic! It was amazing to see the impact adaptive sports can have and the opportunities they create for so many people. We are so thankful to be part of such a great event.

This past weekend, we had the honor of being the nonprofit beneficiary of Furnace Chicken Fest! Huge thank you to the Furnace Chicken Fest team for their support and to all of the sponsors who helped make the event such a success. We are so grateful for a community that continues to show up and support our mission.

Last week, some members of our team had the opportunity to travel to Washington, DC for the Housing and Urban Development Training. We are so thankful to HUD for the experience and excited to bring back what we learned to continue making a difference in our community.

Kim had the honor of attending the grand opening of A Cup of Joy in Brent.

This mission is close to our hearts, as the coffee shop employs some of our Empower Me students in Bibb County, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents, dedication, and spirit of joy.

We were also so proud to see our students speak during the grand opening.

Join us for a virtual training on Undue Hardship Under Title I of the ADA. Learn what undue hardship means in the workplace and better understand rights and responsibilities under the ADA.
