Quality Connections has been helping people overcome barriers to become independent, productive members of our community since 1999 –
making it a better place to live for all of us!
2023 Community Impact
Meet Ben – our very first client.
Ben wanted to work, but barriers (from his disability) stood in his way. With our support, Ben was able to achieve his dream of working, and since then we’ve helped 2,707 people follow Ben’s path towards greater independence.
Now all of us here at Quality Connections are riding together on Ben’s Bus – all aboard!
