As we mark a significant milestone, Eagle Valley Children's Home is proud to celebrate 40 years of providing quality care and services to individuals in our community who have special needs. Our Respite Team has been at the heart of this mission, offering invaluable support and relief to families and caregivers.

Under the passionate leadership of our Respite Program Coordinator, Brandy Runge-Rundell, the Respite Team has flourished. Brandy's dedication and vision have been instrumental in shaping the program into a beacon of hope and support for many. Her unwavering commitment to seeing the value and impact of the program has made a profound difference in the lives of our service recipients and their families.

We are also fortunate to have the steadfast support of our Executive Director, Donna Clarke. Donna's leadership and guidance have been pivotal in ensuring the continued success and growth of our Respite Program. Her commitment to excellence and her deep understanding of the needs of our community have helped us navigate challenges and celebrate triumphs over the years.

The Respite Program at Eagle Valley Children's Home is designed to offer temporary relief to caregivers, providing them with the opportunity to rest and recharge while ensuring their loved ones receive the highest standard of care. This program is not just about providing a break; it's about creating a nurturing environment where individuals with special needs can thrive, engage in meaningful activities, and build lasting relationships.

Over the past four decades, our Respite Team has grown and evolved, continually adapting to meet the changing needs of our community. From personalized care plans to engaging activities, we strive to make every moment spent with us enriching and enjoyable. Our team is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and joy, ensuring that every individual feels valued and supported.

As we celebrate this remarkable anniversary, we reflect on the countless lives touched by our Respite Program. We are grateful for the trust and support of our community, and we look forward to continuing our mission of providing exceptional care and services for many years to come.
