Buddy Break is a free kids/respite program where kids with special needs (VIP kids) make new friends, play fun games, enjoy crafts, stories, music, activities, and more! Siblings have fun too! Meanwhile, their caregivers get a break from their ongoing care-giving responsibilities for three hours. Buddy Break is open to church members and non-church members with VIP kids. Each VIP kid is paired one-on-one with a screened volunteer "Buddy" to participate in that day's activities. Buddy Break is for special needs children ages 2-18 years old and their siblings ages 2 years - 6th grade. Space is limited.
