Inclusion Happens When Community Shows Up

Andre & Friends is a Central Minnesota 501(c)(3) nonprofit creating inclusive, welcoming events and community experiences for individuals with special needs, medical complexities, and their families.

Many families navigating disability, medical needs, or sensory challenges often experience barriers to participating in traditional community activities — whether because of cost, accessibility, overwhelm, or simply not feeling fully included.
At Andre & Friends, we believe everyone deserves a place to belong.

Your donation helps us create meaningful experiences where individuals of all abilities can build friendships, enjoy community events, and make joyful memories together in spaces designed with inclusion, acceptance, and connection in mind.

From dances and holiday celebrations to sensory-friendly outings and community events, every dollar directly supports opportunities for local families to experience joy without barriers getting in the way.

💛 Because belonging matters.
💛 Because inclusion matters.
💛 Because every family deserves moments that feel easy, joyful, and welcoming.

Thank you for helping us build a more inclusive community — one friendship at a time.
