This holiday season, our hearts are filled with gratitude for our community who wraps New Danville in love and support. The bright red bow you see throughout this piece is more than just holiday décor, it is a symbol of your gifts we use to build the community to serve our extraordinary Wranglers.
For over twenty years, your generosity has been the red ribbon that holds our mission together. Because of you, our Wranglers find a safe, vibrant place to live, learn, work, and grow. Your kindness transforms everyday moments into lasting friendships, newfound independence, and genuine belonging in a community of peers.
As we celebrate this season of giving, we invite you to continue sharing your heart with New Danville. Together, let’s tie a bright red bow of hope, opportunity, and joy around the New Danville community this holiday season.

About Us
New Danville is more than a place. We are a thriving, intentional community where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities find purpose, belonging, and the tools to flourish. Through innovative programs, meaningful work opportunities, compassionate support, and enriching daily experiences, we empower adults to lead full and dignified lives.
New Danville is a beautiful, 42-acre active community that embraces adults with special needs and intellectual disabilities. Beginning in 2005, our day program and residential community were developed to empower those we serve to live, learn, work and grow.
As those with intellectual disabilities age out of the public school system, options are limited with many not having access to programs and environments promoting growth and enhancing quality of life unless they are able to afford expensive private facilities. Care is easier for those with financial means, but New Danville is committed to caring for everyone, regardless of finances. One hundred percent of those we serve are at or below the federal poverty level.
“Before our daughter Kristen started at New Danville, she had no friends, no direction for her life and was isolated from the real world. New Danville has given her friends, activities, and a purpose for her life. She is happy, well-adjusted and much loved by the Staff at New Danville. The greatest compliment we can give New Danville is that Kristen calls it home. “
– Connie Mahaffey
Adults with special needs are often a forgotten population, with many forced to either live in institutional environments or within group homes with little opportunity. Those needing help are placed on waiting lists for government benefits and often wait up to 20 years for help.
Simply put, we cannot operate without community support.
By committing to give, you are funding more than 130 weekly classes and activities. You are funding programs that teach valuable life and work skills that have enabled many to work on our ranch, in our retail store, and in the community.
The impact of your gift includes: empowering independent lives, building essential life skills, creating a supportive community, providing diverse enrichment, fostering personal growth, and providing a place of security.
And, with your contribution, you give needed peace and respite to parents of children with special needs because they know their children are thriving at New Danville.
We are grateful for your generous support, which brings joy and fulfills the lives of the wonderful people New Danville serves every day. Please contact Kathy Rifaat at kathy.rifaat@newdanville.org to learn how to become more involved.
New Danville is a non-profit community of hope, positivity, and commitment to growth. This holiday season, please help us ensure that our Wranglers continue to live, learn, work, and grow with your tax-deductible gift!
