“Thank you Hastings Community Foundation for the grant for the Special Needs Fall Festival. Thanks to your generosity we hosted about 650 special needs individuals with a day of fun and laughter! I can't begin to tell you what this day means to the families. They can come enjoy the day and not have to worry things like inability to participate, being judged or laughed at. Thank you Hastings Community Foundation for providing this opportunity to everyone who has felt the struggle of disabilities. “
