This year, we are so excited to announce that Brunswick Main Street has partnered with Community Living, a nonprofit that serves people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, for Brunswick Includes Everyone.

Special events will commemorate this partnership while highlighting the importance of including everyone! And, several businesses will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the day’s sales to Community Living!
