Orion offers hope for individuals and families experiencing hardship due to poverty, disability, or illness by building bridges that lead to self reliance.

Description

Orion Communities provides support services to the most vulnerable women, men and children in our community. Initially for individuals with developmental and/or physical disabilities, Orion’s focus expanded to serve those in poverty.
