Your LIFE membership makes a difference...
...in peoples' lives
As an advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, our job at LIFE Mower County is to ensure there are services and programs available for the people we serve that promote independence, community involvement and make their lives as full as possible.
...in our community
One of our goals is to increase public awareness about the needs, rights and most importantly, the abilities of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A strong membership base helps LIFE demonstrate to local, state and federal government officials that many in our community care about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
...across the state
Through other disability organizations throughout the state of Minnesota, your membership strengthens our voice with lawmakers. We want to be heard on legislative issues such as housing, education, and transportation that affect people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
...and it doesn't cost a lot!
You can become a member of LIFE for just $35.00/individual or $50.00/household. Your additional contribution helps support programs that don't get funding from other sources.
...and for you
For all the help that you give us, we want to give something back to you! Along with the good feeling you get from knowing you've helped people with intellectual and developmental disabilities served by LIFE Mower County, you receive a number of benefits as a token of our appreciation for your commitment to LIFE Mower County.
Your support is vital in full-filling our mission.
Why LIFE? Why Membership?
LIFE members have literally changed the world for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Because of LIFE members, children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities have moved out of institutions and into their own apartments and jobs in the community. Because of the hard work of LIFE members, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities today have choices in how they live, learn, work and play.
We Cannot Forget…Only a generation ago, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were denied basic human rights and put into institutions, out of sight, out of mind. Membership in LIFE is your statement that you are unwilling to go back to those days - that you want to be counted as someone willing to go on record as supporting opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to choose and realize their dreams of where and how they live, learn, work and play. LIFE needs you because numbers count, and LIFE’s voice is stronger, louder and listened to more carefully at the legislature with the addition of every new member
Membership is the foundation for all of LIFE’s services! LIFE Mower County needs you as a member! When you formally join LIFE as a member, you add to LIFE’s strong base of people who are concerned about children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
