40 stories in 40 days

40 Stories in 40 Days

In 2012 Dakota Communities celebrated 40 incredible years of partnering with people with disabilities to realize their goals and potential. Each day from April 2nd through May 11th, the 40 days that led up to the Anniversary Gala , we unveiled a story or memory from the past. We looked back and recognized what we’ve accomplished together with support from our dedicated employees, family members, donors and volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who contributed a meaningful story, memory or photo from the past 40 years with us!
