A "Treasure" is an individual with a developmental disability (Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Rhetts Syndrome, Autism, etc.). Treasures come from a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, financial statuses, ages (12 and up) and living situations (i.e., group homes, private homes, or supported living arrangements).
What is a Treasure Night?
A "Treasure Night" is a designated day of the month for each participating church when QWO staff, volunteers and "Treasures" get together to sing songs, play games, study a bible lesson, pray, make crafts and eat yummy treats. It is a great opportunity for Treasures to interact with others with similar disabilities while building great friendships.
