Friends of Rainier (FOR) is the recognized support group for Families, Guardians and Friends of the residents of the state run facility, Rainier School for the Developmentally Disabled in Buckley Wash.

Our stated goals have always been to promote the general welfare of all devolmentally disabled people, but especially those at Rainier School. We meet regularly as a group with Rainier School staff, and raise funds to organize socials, parties and picnics on campus.

"The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life -- the children; those who are in the twilight of life -- the elderly; and those who are in the shadow of life; the sick, the needy, and the disabled."

Hubert Humphrey
