It started with a simple observation: families raising children with intellectual and developmental disabilities were carrying a quiet, constant weight, and far too often, they were doing it alone. We saw weary parents in need of a break, incredible individuals who longed for community, and churches unsure how to engage. What if there was a place where those burdens could be lifted, even for a few hours? A place filled with laughter, music, celebration, and love. A place where families felt radically welcomed, not just accommodated? That question became the spark that lit the fire for Hero’s Club.

 

From the beginning, Hero’s Club has been about more than respite events. Yes, we create unforgettable nights where our Heroes are paired with caring volunteers for an evening of joy and belonging, but our mission goes deeper. We believe in radical hospitality: the kind that shows up consistently, anticipates needs, and meets families where they are. That’s why we partner with churches and local organizations to care for families in every facet of life, whether it’s helping connect them to medical care, counseling, financial guidance, or faith-based community. Our vision is to build a movement of love that surrounds each family, reminds them they’re not alone, and reflects the heart of Christ in every detail.
