Opening doors. Unlocking possibilities.
We Are Family, Extended.
What a monumental year it has been for Hammer & NER! We hope you were able to be part of some of our 100-year and 50-year anniversary celebrations. As we fast approach the end of our anniversary year, we wanted to share how grateful we are for YOU and the many ways you are involved with our Hammer & NER family, extended.
As we count our blessings, we know we would not be able to do this important work without your generous support, dedication, and involvement. YOU keep the heart of our mission alive, and that allows us to help the people we support live life to its fullest. But we are not done yet, here’s to the next 100 years!
Celebrating Together, With YOU!
As we reflect back on our anniversary year, we are thankful you and your family were a part of the celebrations. From our Annual Spring Breakfast to the Family Day Picnic, we connected with family and friends, the people we support, and most importantly we made lasting memories to cherish for years to come.

Submit a Recipe for our Anniversary Cookbook!
Hello everyone! My name is Addison Dahmer and I am working on my Gold Award, the highest award in Girl Scouts. My Uncle has called Hammer home for 25 years and absolutely loves it there. That’s me as a little girl in the picture to the right next to my Uncle.
For Hammer’s 100 and NER’s 50 year anniversaries, I wanted to compile a collection of YOUR favorite recipes in hopes of making Hammer & NER cooking feel more like home. We are collecting recipes from staff, volunteers, families, donors, the community we live in, and the individuals we support!
Please submit your recipes by May 1, 2023 by filling out this Google form.
If you have any questions, or have issues with the Google form and would like to email the recipe, please feel free to reach out to me at: Hammerres100@gmail.com.
The finished Cookbook will be revealed and available at the Family Day Picnic in September. Bon appetite!
