Maura and Charlie Weis founded Hannah & Friends in recognition of their daughter Hannah. The mission of Hannah & Friends is to improve the quality of life for children and adults with special needs.
We strive to raise awareness and compassion for all those with different abilities. We offer recreational programs for children and adults with special needs as well as residential services for adults at the Hannah & Friends Neighborhood in South Bend. We also operate a grant program, Hannah's Helping Hands, providing quality of life grants for families with individuals with developmental disabilities in Indiana, the Michiana area, New York, Rhode Island, Florida, Kansas and the Kansas City area.
