Sunnyhill Inc. Sunnyhill Lights the Path to Empowered Living for Individuals Diagnosed with Developmental Disabilities. Louis City & County, St. Louis Area.

Established in 1979, we are a local nonprofit supporting people in Greater St. Charles County and Jefferson County. Sunnyhill, formerly the Council for Extended Care, was founded in 1978 by 18 Missouri Families who wanted to create a world of opportunity for their children with developmental disabilities. In 1980, the organization opened Sunnyhill Adventures, one of the country's first all-inclusi

ve recreational camps for adults and children with developmental disabilities in the St. In 1986, Sunnyhill opened their first residential home to provide individualized supported living for those affected with developmental disabilities. In 1998, Sunnyhill Adventures On The Road Program was introduced, allowing clients the opportunity to visit places like Branson, Nashville, Memphis, and more! In 2009, Sunnyhill launched Sunnyhill University, designed to give children and adults with disabilities valuable life skills including support to venture our of their homes, information about their communities, socialization, and the benefits of a productive lifestyle. Sunnyhill U creates an environment that fosters interests, creativity, confidence, independence, and dignity, all while teaching individuals how to be active members of society. In 2011, Sunnyhill began offering Behavioral Support Services, which are designed to teach adaptive skills to replace previously learned unsafe behaviors. Then, in 2015, Sunnyhill opened the Independence Center in DeSoto, situated on 18-acres. At this location, Sunnyhill introduced the Family Resource & Advocacy Center, the first of its kind in the state, giving families an opportunity to reach out for support in one, convenient location. Annually, Sunnyhill serves over 1,000 individuals with developmental disabilities, and provides both full-time and part-time care to clients living in residential homes, or in their own homes. None of this would be possible without the love and support of our volunteers, donors, and staff.

After the St. Louis tornado damaged her apartment, one individual lost many essential clothing items.

Now she is working to rebuild with basic necessities like undergarments, pants, shirts, and everyday clothing.

Sometimes the smallest essentials make the biggest difference. 💛

Years ago, a person receiving 24 hour supports caused damage to his home during periods of behavioral struggle.

Today, after tremendous growth and support, he has developed strong coping skills and has not caused damage in years.

But the cost of repairing older damage has become overwhelming.

A Sunny Day Fund gift helps ensure his home remains safe, stable, and reflective of the progress he’s worked so hard to achieve.

People grow. Their support should too. ☀️

This Give STL Day, Sunnyhill is proud to launch our new
“I Am” campaign video — Link Here:
https://youtu.be/o3_Bc3a9lF8

It's a powerful visual and musical celebration of the incredible people we serve.

Featuring a spinning Rubik’s Cube filled with the faces and personal “I Am” statements from our Sunnyhill Community Members, this video reminds us that individuals with developmental disabilities are so much more than labels. They are artists. Leaders. Friends. Dreamers. Athletes. Creators. They are unique, vibrant individuals with voices that deserve to shine.

The video also features an original song titled “I Am,” inspired directly by the real “I Am” statements shared by our Sunnyhill Community Members. Every lyric reflects their strength, individuality, and humanity.

Today, you can help make those voices even louder.

Your Give STL Day donation to Sunnyhill’s Sunny Day Fund helps provide life-changing support, opportunities, experiences, and care for individuals with developmental disabilities across our community.

Be part of something meaningful.
Be part of their story.
Be part of the “I Am” movement.

One person receiving 24-hour in-home support is experiencing significant wear and tear in their living space, especially in the living room where daily use is essential for comfort and stability.
The couch no longer sits evenly, making it uncomfortable and difficult to use safely, and another chair has become increasingly hard to get in and out of, creating daily challenges in a space that should feel secure and supportive.

A Sunny Day Fund gift could help replace these essential pieces, restoring a safer, more comfortable home environment that supports dignity, independence, and everyday well-being.
Everyone deserves a home that feels safe, welcoming, and supportive. 💛

After experiencing housing instability, one individual moved into a new supported living home during an emergency transition.

Because the move happened so quickly, essential household items had to be purchased immediately before outside funding could be approved.

A Sunny Day Fund gift helps provide the basics many of us take for granted — bedding, kitchen supplies, hygiene products, and the comfort of starting over with dignity.

Every donation helps create stability, safety, and a place to call home. 💛

A family caring for a child with significant support needs has worked hard to maintain stability while balancing full-time jobs, medical expenses, and daily caregiving challenges.

Repeated Medicaid spenddown costs have threatened access to essential services, while the physical demands of caregiving have made maintaining a safe and healthy home environment increasingly difficult.

A Sunny Day Fund gift could help provide professional cleaning support and relieve some of the pressure this family faces every day.

Your support helps families keep the care they depend on. ☀️
