The Five Families Independence Association is a local nonprofit based in Brunswick, Maine. It was started by five families who wanted more for their children than the institutional care that existed at the time. Today Independence Association opens new doors, pushes boundaries and creates opportunities. We support community inclusion and equal opportunity while celebrating every individual’s abilities. Independence Association employs almost 200 people who serve over 400 individuals with disabilities in nine counties.
