Please join us in celebrating Autism Awareness Month with our Apples for Autism campaign.
Last year, we highlighted Judevine with the 30 Days of Autism campaign, which showcased services and success stories from many of our programs. This year, we’d like to focus on a key phrase in our mission QUALITY OF LIFE!
This year’s campaign will have a two fold mission. Throughout the community, 106 convenience stores owned or operated by Wallis Companies will be participating in our Apples for Autism campaign. Their customers will be able to donate to Judevine on site by choosing $1, $5, or $10 apple icons for display. These funds will be dedicated to our Transportation Fund, enabling us to purchase fuel, repair our vehicles, and possibly purchase new vehicles. So, when you see the Apples for Autism signage, drop in, fill up, and donate what you can. AND, tell them how much you appreciate their dedication to Judevine’s programs and services.
Help us make the connection by spreading the word to your family and friends!

Autism awareness Special Storytimes events will take place in many Barnes & Noble stores throughout April. Judevine will be participating in many of these events.

Grants for Families of Children with Autism
The diagnosis of autism is challenging for parents. Not only from an emotional perspective, but it can also be tough on a family's finances too! The National Autism Association has created a grant program specifically for families of children with autism who are in financial crisis. For the full story click here!

Will you become an
Angel for Autism?
Angel a guardian, guiding influence, advocate, champion, lifesaver, kind and lovable person, protector, sponsor, well-wisher, one who manifests goodness, purity, and selflessness
Imagine beginning every day with a screaming sobbing childhe can’t speak to tell you what’s wrong. What if a trip to the grocery store found your child ravaging the shelves just to hear the glass bottles shatter, with no response to repeated correction? Sadly, these behaviors are often the only inherent approaches a child with autism has to communicate and connect with the world around him.
By accepting this invitation, you will give a child and his parents the opportunity to participate in Judevine’s key service, our Parent Training program, a rigorous, full-time, three-week training course, through which we are able to give families back their lives.
