Mapping Community Resources

A comprehensive community survey will help identify the resources, skills, and services available to parents and guardians of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These may include food, clothing, hygiene supplies, educational materials, caregiving, transportation, and meal preparation.

The initiative is designed to strengthen connections among families, making it easier to share resources and support one another. By recognizing what each family can offer, the community can build a more connected network of practical support.

A digital and physical directory will organize these resources, helping participating families discover available assistance and opportunities to exchange goods, skills, and services.

Through this initiative, the Tammy Lynn Foundation aims to encourage collaboration, reduce resource gaps, and create meaningful connections among families and caregivers. Access to shared resources can help families navigate daily challenges with greater confidence.

By bringing people together around shared needs and abilities, the initiative promotes a culture of compassion, inclusion, and mutual support. Every contribution, whether a practical skill or an essential item, can make a meaningful difference in another family’s life.
