Ripple Effects Community Inclusion Center

📢 Important Update

To help ensure the safety and well-being of everyone who attend our programs, RECIC has officially become a Nut-Free Facility.

This means that peanuts, tree nuts, and foods containing nut ingredients should not be brought into the center for programs, camps, events, or respite services.

We understand this may require some adjustments, and we truly appreciate your cooperation and support as we take this important step to create a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone in our community.

If you have any questions about acceptable snacks or foods, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.

Thank you for helping us keep RECIC safe for all! 💙
