Fun, friends, and individualized care while you get a break
Buddy Break is a free respite care program where children with special needs and their siblings have fun and make new friends.
Buddy Break is a free outreach ministry for parents/caregivers who need a break from the ongoing responsibilities of caregiving for a child with special needs. All children, ages 6 months to 18 years, have the opportunity to have fun, make new friends and hear God’s Word with trained volunteers. Buddy Break exists to share the love and acceptance of Christ with all children and parents.
