The Lifestyles Cafe, operated by the participants of Lifestyles for the Disabled, proudly prepared and served breakfast and lunch for over 200 people at the 50th Anniversary of the Willowbrook Consent Decree on May 3rd, 2025.
We proudly stand alongside all the agencies that participated and continue to provide care for the people and families of Staten Island who need it most.
"Lifestyles for the Disabled" started in 1994, with the wonderful support of parents, community organizations, local business leaders, and a dedicated group of developmentally disabled adults who participated in our programs. These remarkable individuals and organizations came together to recognize the importance of creating programs that provide participants with meaningful work environments and enjoyable social experiences in Staten Island and beyond.
Empower individuals with developmental disabilities by providing inclusive opportunities for skill development, meaningful work experiences, and community engagement. We aim to promote independence, enhance quality of life, and advocate for the rights and dignity of all participants.
