The music may have stopped, but we're still feeling the groove from A Night for Enable: Disco Nights.

Mark your calendars for the next celebration:

📅 Thursday, April 22, 2027

We'll be bringing our community together once again for an evening of fun, friendship, and impact as we support aging and homebound residents across Madison County.

Stay tuned for details. Until then, save the date and keep those disco vibes alive. ✨

Monday Mood 💙 There's nothing better than starting the week with a reminder of why this work matters.

We are grateful for community leaders who recognize the importance of helping aging and homebound residents remain safe, independent, and connected to the place they call home.

Thank you, Senator Arthur Orr, for your support of Enable Madison County and for helping share the impact of our programs throughout the community.

Pleased to help the work of Enable Madison County and Exec Director Zane Drost as they help homebound folks with the daily challenges of living. Wheelchair ramps, deliveries of goods, fall prevention assessments, etc. all save individuals (and govt) lots of money by avoiding institutional care options. But most of all, people want to stay at home despite their disabilities and Enable is the good neighbor organization who makes that happen!

We're excited to share that Enable Madison County has been selected as a recipient of a grant from Mazda Toyota Manufacturing.

This support will help sustain and strengthen the Enable Garden, which provides fresh produce to aging and homebound residents across Madison County. Through the garden, residents receive nutritious food and support that helps them remain safe and independent at home.

The Enable Garden is powered by volunteers, community partnerships, and a shared commitment to caring for our neighbors. We are grateful to Mazda Toyota Manufacturing for investing in programs that improve quality of life and strengthen our community.

We’ve shared Reina’s story a few times recently, but we appreciated this article from 256 Today for highlighting another often-overlooked perspective: caregivers.

While the story began with a wheelchair ramp for our 7-year-old client, it is also about grandparents navigating the daily physical and emotional responsibilities of caregiving. At Enable Madison County, caregivers are often a major part of our client communication, care coordination, and ongoing support systems.

It’s a reminder that the impact of services like ramps, fall prevention, deliveries, and weatherization often extends beyond the individual client. These services also support the family members and caregivers, helping loved ones remain safely at home.

Thank you to 256 Today for sharing this side of the story and to the volunteers from the Redstone Arsenal Silver Chapter of the US Army Warrant Officer Association who helped make the project possible.

We are grateful to WAAY-TV 31 News for sharing the story behind a recent wheelchair ramp build completed by Enable Madison County volunteers and the Redstone Arsenal Silver Chapter of the US Army Warrant Officer Association

While we shared photos from the build, this story highlights the deeper impact for 7-year-old Reina, a Madison County resident, living with a traumatic brain injury. Because she relies entirely on her grandparents for mobility and daily care, the new ramp now gives her grandparents a safer, easier way to get her in and out of the home each day, reducing physical strain while making daily routines safer and more manageable.

We are also deeply thankful to the Alexander family for allowing us to share their story and helping shine a light on the importance of accessibility, caregiving, and community support.
