The Birch Family Services Empowerment Circle is a community of dedicated supporters who are committed to creating meaningful, lasting change for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Members share a belief in the power of giving and play a vital role in strengthening Birch’s programs that support children, adolescents, and adults across every stage of life.

Through the Empowerment Circle, donors combine their generosity to amplify impact ensuring critical programs and services remain accessible, responsive, and innovative. This collective support helps Birch provide comprehensive, lifelong care while fostering connection among like-minded individuals who are deeply invested in advancing opportunity, independence, and dignity for the people we serve.
