Buddy Break is a FREE respite program where children, youth and young adults with special needs (VIPs) make new friends, play fun games, enjoy crafts, stories, music and more!  Meanwhile, their parents/caregivers can enjoy time away from their ongoing care-giving responsibilities for two hours. 

Buddy Break is open to VIP’s and their siblings. Each VIP and sibling(s) is paired one-on-one with a Buddy.
