In 2012, the EVAN (Enlightening Views of Autism Now) committee was founded by Scott and Patti Kruppo. As parents of a child with autism, they know firsthand that therapeutic equipment can be expensive and that each child with autism has different therapeutic needs. They felt that a lending closet and sensory room would be beneficial for children with disabilities.
EVAN is a 501c3 non-profit organization and functions under the United Ministry (UM) Church of Delhi
