Aaron's Acres is searching for a year-round facility to accommodate its growing programs. A nonprofit organization in central Pennsylvania, Aaron's Acres provides individuals with developmental disabilities ages 5 through 21 year-round, therapeutically based, age-appropriate recreational programs focused on enhancing socialization and communication skills.
The search comes after the announcement of the Manheim Community Pool's potential 2020 close. Aaron's Acres has based its programs at the pool for the past five years, and pools have been a staple of Aaron's Acres' programs since the organization's start in 1998. The programs focus on including all participants in every activity regardless of ability level, meaning the organization has special requirements for a future facility.
In addition, Aaron's Acres hopes to consolidate its current facilities, including administrative offices and storage units, which are scattered across Lancaster County. The nonprofit is open to either developing a new building or repurposing an existing site.
During Aaron's Acres' 20th anniversary gala in December 2018, the organization unveiled conceptual designs for its future facility, but the group remains open to discussion. The project is estimated to cost between $4 million and $5 million.
Aaron's Acres is seeking the public's help in its search for a new location. To help, readers may call Aaron's Acres' Lancaster office at 717-917-6101. More information can be found at http://www.aaronsacres.org.
