Respite

You're Invited: Respite Event

Saturday, October 10th, 2026 · 10:30 am – 2:00 pm

We want to formally invite you and your family to attend our Respite Event. Before attending, we ask that you please complete the registration form below so that we can best serve your family.

Our goal is to provide an event that both parents and children look forward to! At this time, we are opening this event to children with disabilities ages 5 to 12, and their siblings. We want to provide parents with the gift of time and rest. All children will be given 1-on-1 attention from a personal buddy and get to be included in activities that are tailored to meet their needs. We have a team of volunteers that are trained and equipped to serve every individual. Several of our volunteers have a background in education, occupational therapy, or have been serving individuals with disabilities for many years, if not decades. We will have a nurse present at every event.

This event is completely free. We only ask that you send a packed lunch with your child(ren).

Parents, what will you do with this gift of time? A date with your spouse, kid-free errands, go home and nap? This is time for you to use however you would like! Coffee and bagels will be provided to take on the go or to enjoy on premise if you prefer to remain on site for a bit.

Address: 1290 Community Park Dr., Columbus, OH 43229, Building X at Dwell Community Church

Completing registration will count as your official RSVP for the Respite Event on October 10th, 2026.
