Our Vision

Fill-A-Need Foundation is passionate and dedicated to creating a secure future for adults with Autism and other special needs. The vision is to bridge all the gaps that exist in the lives of these adults and the community. As they become adults, there is a gap that prevents them from taking the next step toward an independent successful future. Fill-A-Need Foundation is dedicated to bridging this gap by providing each adult a program that offers the proper support and training that will become a transition to a next step in each individual’s life.

Katie’s Story

Katie Cancro is an architect and a mother of a son with Autism. When her son was four years old she learned the brutal truth that a future for her son with Autism did not exist. Knowing the abilities and capability that her son possesses, made it clear a future had to be built, for him and thousands like him. Please take the time to read Katie’s story and be inspired to join Fill-A-Need Foundation as we begin to build a future for adults with Autism and other special needs.

The Hamlet

Helping to Bridge the Gap

A major goal of the Foundation is to design, develop, and manage a self-sustaining, green campus for Adults with Autism and other special needs called The Hamlet. The Hamlet will be a vocational and therapeutic day program, as well bridging the gap between Autism and the community.

When an adult with special needs comes to us and asks, “What's my future?” We tell them, The Hamlet.
