Yesterday, our PBS Advisory Team gathered in our Board Room to celebrate the holidays with a festive pizza luncheon - complete with caroling and cupcakes that made the celebration even sweeter!
All year long, this dedicated team works within our programs to ensure that Human Rights are upheld ...and that self-choice is supported every single day.

We’re grateful for their commitment, compassion, and the positive impact they make throughout Sunshine Village.

Thank you, PBS Advisory Team, for all you do!

A fun and festive holiday pastime was celebrated today in both our Agawam- CBDS and Day Habilitation programs!
A group of our individuals gathered to string popcorn, SMILE, and share holiday cheer - creating magical moments and keeping this joyful tradition alive.

Crafting + Connection = The Perfect Holiday Combo!

Today, a fantastic group of elementary students visited our Casey program to create festive crafts and share some holiday cheer. The room was full of laughter and SMILES as everyone learned from one another.

Moments like these ...remind us how creativity brings people together in the best ways!

A huge THANK YOU to the Happy Ukes for visiting yesterday to offer our Davis program an amazing holiday concert!
Your energy, joy, and incredible musical talent filled the room- everyone enjoyed every moment!

One of the best perks of being a Finley’s brand ambassador is getting to interact with amazing animals!

Our Three Rivers (Palmer) program loves every minute of this fun and furry experience- SMILES are always a guarantee.

Twelve Months of Christmas!

All year long, our programs have been crafting ornaments for our 12 Months of Christmas campaign -each one inspired by the places we’ve “globetrotted” to together.

Today, our PBS Committee brought all those creations to the Administration ...Christmas Tree, decorating it beautifully… and of course enjoying a holiday cookie swap!

A wonderful way to kick off the season!

Supporting others, One Lasagna at a Time!

Ashley and Josh from our Agawam CBDS program joined in on the Lasagna Love mission last week - baking and delivering a warm, homemade lasagna for a family in our community.
Their big hearts helped brighten the day and remind us that even the ...smallest acts of kindness can make a huge difference.

Amazing job, Ashley and Josh - thank you for helping us spread the LOVE!

Engagement, exploration, and SMILES.

At Sunshine Village, we believe in creating opportunities that inspire curiosity, learning, ...and confidence in every individual we serve.

The name Sunshine Village may not tell you WHAT we do…providing innovative day services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum, BUT it does tell you WHO we are – a warm and welcoming place where people SHINE! Giving today helps us to... continue to achieve our mission tomorrow! Thank you for remembering Sunshine Village on Giving Tuesday!

Teearra and Anthony have been hard at work at the Holyoke Print Shop, turning their ideas into amazing handmade creations. They love crafting unique items - and they’re excited to start selling their pieces soon!
