Share Your Story with Karis!

Our 2025 organizational theme is “Celebrate Every Journey” and we want to hear your stories and share your photos. The Marketing & Communications team is looking for stories that embody our theme while providing a moment of celebration for us as we celebrate 60 years as an organization. These stories could be posted on our website and social media or told out loud at Annual Community Meetings and other celebrations.  

 Here are some kinds of stories we are looking for: 

  • Anniversary and milestones celebrations. Maybe somebody using services had a big birthday recently, or maybe they’ve been using Karis services for a long time. We’d also like to celebrate Karis staff who are celebrating big milestones this year!   
  • Personal growth and development. Maybe somebody using services has wanted to live independently for a while, and they’ve moved from a group home to a Host Family or into supported independent living. Maybe somebody using services has always wanted to make more friends in the community and now they have more confidence and are a part of a group.
  • Making spaces more accessible. Maybe a church has installed a ramp to make their stage more accessible. Maybe a person using services advocates for greater accessibility in community spaces. 

 We want to hear many stories! It’s okay if your story doesn’t fit these three categories – please share them with us anyway. 😊
