Our Partners

At COCO, we believe that meaningful change doesn’t happen alone. It takes a community.

We’re incredibly grateful for the generous support of our partners—local businesses, organizations, and individuals—who believe in our mission and walk alongside us in creating employment, training, and connection opportunities for people with developmental disabilities.

These partnerships fuel every cup of coffee, every skill learned, and every life impacted through COCO. Together, we’re building a more inclusive, empowered, and connected community.

Below are just a few of the amazing partners who help make COCO possible:
