21+ Businesses You Can Support That Are Owned By Or Employ Individuals with Down Syndrome

On March 21, we celebrate National Down Syndrome Awareness Day!  What better way to celebrate than by supporting businesses that are owned by or employ these wonderful individuals.  Not only are you helping put dinner on the table, but you are helping spread awareness, acceptance, and inclusion of individuals with disabilities and providing meaningful employment opportunities. SHARE THIS POST IN YOUR STORIES OR WITH YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND COLLEAGUES!  Consider buying from a small business for your next holiday or birthday gift!
