Join us for SHOPABILITY SATURDAY
MARCH 12, 2022
Connectable is excited to present Shopability Saturday – a citywide event that invites our entire community to support more than 150 businesses across Jacksonville that provide employment opportunities for individuals with Autism, Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental differences (IDDs).
Participating is simple. Use our searchable, interactive map below to locate IDD-inclusive businesses right in your neighborhood. Then, select one or more to support on Shopability Saturday. The rest is up to you – whether you dine in, take out, shop, or play!
Together, let’s shine a light on those who choose to see the abilities of individuals with IDDs and celebrate their contributions!
