Fresh Start Of San Angelo
About Fresh Start Of San Angelo
Fresh Start Of San Angelo serves adults 18 and older with physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities through day habilitation, counseling, supportive employment opportunities, and a sheltered activity center. The work is practical in the best way, with daily skill-building in hygiene, money management, communication, community safety, and other parts of everyday life. For donors, that means supporting a program built around independence and self-sufficiency, not just time spent during the day.
What stands out here is how personal the support is. Each person’s goals are tied to a Person Center Plan, so the day program is shaped around individual choices and the routines that help people move toward community transition. The sheltered activity center and work-readiness support give that structure a place to turn into practice.
