Description:
The Disability Services Resource Center (DSRC), founded in 1933, serves individuals with temporary and permanent disabilities in Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region. The center provides various services including organizing volunteers to build accessibility ramps, maintaining a no-cost loan closet for durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs and walkers), offering adaptive sports programs, and conducting disability awareness training. Additionally, DSRC operates inclusive camp programs for children and adults with special needs, emphasizing community connection and engagement.
DSRC’s mission centers on fostering independence and enhancing quality of life for people with disabilities. Their operations rely heavily on grants, donations, and volunteers to sustain and expand their services. For example, in 2021, the medical equipment loan program alone provided items valued at over $200,000, demonstrating the organization’s community impact.
