More than 20 Coca-Cola employees from all over the nation came to Aspire looking for a one-of-a-kind volunteer opportunity.

A year and a half before Coca-Cola’s visit, Aspire’s board, staff, families and volunteers in the community took a fresh look at what Aspire might achieve for people with developmental disabilities. Out of those discussions Aspire created a new vision–a community where people of all abilities live, learn and grow together.

When Coca-Cola came to Aspire asking what they could do to make a difference in their community, Aspire gave them a volunteer challenge. They were to paint three murals telling the story of Aspire’s vision. Watch how they came together and what volunteering for Aspire means to them!
