Our Vision

     Empowering Adults with Disabilities

Our Mission

     The Forest Fritter Friends exist to equip adults with disabilities with the skills and training required to attain meaningful employment and live life to the fullest.

Meet Mark

     Mark is 30 years old; he enjoys movies, thrift shopping and riding his bike. He also loves routine and functions best when his routine is followed closely. This is because Mark has Autism. He is the reason why his parents Tom and Janet, founded the Forest Fritter Friends. 

     It is a challenge for individuals like Mark to do some of the things that other people their age are doing, such as working, going places and having a group of friends. The Forest Fritter Friends are on a mission to change that. Through our supportive learning program and encouraging atmosphere our “Team Members” are equipped with skills for future employment while also building community with their peers.   

     What makes this business different is that all profits that are generated are put back into the enterprise and into creating employment opportunities for the disabled in our community.  Being a totally inclusive not-for-profit business, we hope to encourage the general public to interact and get to know our “Team Members” and ultimately to build a more compassionate society. Your patronage is appreciated and demonstrates that you also believe in building a more compassionate society…one fritter at a time
