50th Anniversary - Access Services

Celebrating 50 Years

Serving & strengthening communities

Five Decades of Service

Since 1976, Access Services has been serving and strengthening our community. For the last five decades, we’ve worked tirelessly to advance our mission and vision: creating opportunities, filling gaps, and building stronger, more resilient communities. 

Throughout this special year, we will honor these values and our vision of “strengthening communities by empowering individuals towards wholeness and belonging.” This vision has been the heartbeat of our work for five decades, and it continues to inspire everything we do.

What to Expect this Year

Throughout this year, we will have ways for you to get involved and be part of the celebration! Please bookmark this page and visit periodically as we will be updating this page with information.
