Meet the Need NC’s Hear. Share. Act.’s monthly Lunch & Learn Series takes place on the third Tuesday of each month from 12PM to 1PM. Each month, the series features a different topic intended to help people gain basic knowledge of the systems, programs, and services in place that serve individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (I/DD). We encourage people in and outside the I/DD community who want to understand better the benefits of including people with IDD within their communities to attend.
