SNAP and CLAP

SNAP & CLAP (Special Needs Community Learning Adult Program) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making a difference in the lives of adults with special needs by anchoring them into the community.

Our Anchors spend 75% of their time out in the community—going to movies, museums, and events; taking CrossFit and yoga classes; eating at local restaurants; helping seniors; and volunteering. These experiences build independence, friendships, and real-world connections in our community that matter.

Over the past 2 years, SNAP & CLAP and Anchors have driven over 12,000 miles across North Texas, visited over 100 different locations, and given back through meaningful community service.

Your support helps us continue to provide opportunities that empower our Anchors to thrive, belong, shine, and anchor themselves in the community.

Who Are Anchors? At SNAP & CLAP, we call the adults we serve Anchors—because that’s exactly who they are. Anchors are faithful, steadfast, and loyal. They give us hope, love, and stability. They hold us in place, remind us of what matters most, and anchor us to the joys of life.

SNAP & CLAP exists to support these Anchors by providing vocational training, independent living skills, and meaningful community experiences—so they can anchor themselves confidently within the community.
