Mission Road Ministries cares for children and adults with IDD (intellectual developmental disabilities). The Grand Western Shindig helps to raise critical funding that helps bridge the gap between state and federal funding that allows for the minimum standard of care and the total funding required to provide the exceptional care our clients require and deserve to reach their greatest potential for Independence, Productivity and Inclusion in the community.
