Reed Society

The Reed Society, comprised of SIRS most valued planned giving donors, is committed to the long-term stability of SIRS mission and service delivery.

The Reed Society is named after SIRS first community employment customer, Sam Reed. Not only was Sam the first individual to secure employment in his community, he was one of the original recipients of services back in 1968 when his parents, Rose and Ralph Reed, helped create the organization with other interested Perry County families. Just as the Reeds played an integrate role in the creation of SIRS, the donors that make up the Reed Society will have the same impact in financially keeping SIRS services available to person with disabilities. Just as Sam ventured out into his community, giving others the opportunity to embrace his skills and gifts, so the Reed Society’s efforts will enable future children and adults with disabilities to pursue needed therapies, dreams of employment, and community involvement.

The generous donations from the Reed Society secure future funding for existing services as well as progressive services currently not available to individuals with disabilities. The Reed Society ensures that the seeds they plant today become the supportive shade trees for those in need tomorrow.
