The Disabilty Outreach Committee is a grassroots movement
that originally started to raise money to buy an accessible van for a
disabled young woman who had no way to get to church. Now,
DOC publishes a free monthly online news journal focusing on the
disabled entitled "The Edge."
Since its' inception late last year, The Edge has grown in content and
circulation, and our goal is that by next year it will be more
interactive and accessible to thousands of readers everywhere. DOC is
very grateful for the support we have received, and we encourage
everyone to share this journal with friends and family. Also, The Edge
will only survive if you provide story ideas for us. Thank you again
for your support. To access the latest edition of The Edge click here:
