LSR Mission Statement:  

It is our mission to provide traing and support to individuals with disabilities so they may achieve maximum potential for self-reliance and active participation in the community.   

 

History: 
Lincoln Self Reliance, Inc. has been in operation as a Section 501(c)(3) corporation since July 2000.  LSR, Inc. maintains physical facilities in Diamondville, Kemmerer, Afton, Thayne, and Evanston Wyoming.  The Administration Office is located in Afton Wyoming.  
 

LSR experienced some turnover this past year in Program Managers.  Our Evanston Program Manager experienced some significant health issues and was not able to continue in the position.  Matt Blakeman was hired as the new Evanston Program Manager.   Our Thayne Program Manager also had some health issues that resulted in her stepping down as the Program Manager.  Roy Nelson was hired as the new Thayne Program Manager.  And, our Afton Program Manager resigned her position with LSR to pursue other career goals.  Becky Beaudette was hired as the new Afton Program Manager.  (Pictures Below).  

 

 

Lincoln Self Reliance, Inc. is very grateful for the continued outpouring of support from our local communities.  From event sponsorships, beef and pork donations purchased from the local 4-H livestock sales, generous donations to our thrift stores, cash donations, continued support from families and individuals served, and other stakeholders have allowed LSR to have another great year.  

 

LSR was able to find a contractor that charged a reasonable price to have the Afton office parking lot resealed and new parking stalls painted on the surface.  The finished project looks great and will allow the parking lot to be better utilized with all the new parking stalls added.     (Photo below).
