UDS AKRON

Today, United Disability Services honors the day when the last slaves were finally freed in 1865. It’s a day to celebrate freedom, Black culture and excellence in our community.

Huge thanks to the Archbishop Hoban High School student volunteers! As part of their 3-day #HobanJAM service project, they brought joy, faith & fun to our Adult Services carnival. Snow cones, smiles & so much heart — you made the magic happen!
