The Valley Friendship Circle is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-sectarian organization (EIN # 45-5351558) that addresses the challenges facing the families of children with special needs in a novel and innovative way. The program begins with the pairing of local teenagers with children for weekly "Friends at Home" visits, but hardly ends there. Through a full range of activities and events, the Friendship Circle creates its own special environment of friendship and love.
