Thanksgiving Meal Delivery
As COVID-19 cases surge across the country and the Kansas City Metro, the holidays look different for many families in 2020. Life Unlimited is doing everything it can to ensure people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who are separated from family and loved ones can maintain a sense of normalcy during the holiday season.
Life Unlimited staff delivered prepared Thanksgiving meals from Hy-Vee to 68 homes and more than 250 individuals with I/DD.
Denice Bartley

Denice Bartley, who provides supports and health services for individuals with disabilities at Life Unlimited, knows this feeling all too well. Her townhouse was damaged in July when a large fire broke out in the adjoining home.
Remembering Our Loved Ones
