“I’m learning to be independent, I pay my own bills, I do my own grocery shopping, I cook my own meals— I even make my own turkey chili.” 🩷⁠ ⁠ Meet Dillon, a Prospect from the The Prospector Theater, nestled in the heart of Ridgefield, Connecticut is a place where individuals with disabilities, like Dillon, are given opportunities in an environment where they can thrive in ways they’ve never imagined. ⁠ ⁠ Dillon has been a part of the Prospector Popcorn team for over a decade, and his role there has been instrumental in his journey toward personal independence and financial freedom. Just two years ago, he reached a milestone by moving out of his parents’ home and into his own apartment—a step that might seem typical for some but is monumental for Dillon. ⁠ ⁠ Supporting employment social enterprises like Prospector Popcorn creates transformative opportunities for individuals who are often overlooked, allowing them to thrive well beyond the limits society places on them.
