Fillmore County Developmental Achievement Center

Fillmore County DAC, established in 1974, is a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)3. We are licensed by the State to provide home and community-based services. We collaborate closely with Fillmore, Winona, and Olmsted County Community Services, Fillmore County Public Health, residential providers, and families to identify individuals who would benefit from our services.

Our mission is to offer person-centered planning and service delivery that accommodates individual abilities and interests in employment services, recreation, socialization, and community engagement, ensuring all individuals receiving services can sustain and enhance their quality of life.

We offer job coaching and mentoring services to our clients at various job sites within the surrounding communities.

For individuals who are unable or choose not to work, we offer day services that include recreational and leisure activities such as outings, crafts, exercise, and more.

We also have our own thrift store, Thrifty Threads.   Proceeds go back into DAC.  With donations from the local communities, we can help support others as well.

To support our financial objectives, we have initiated an annual raffle. We are requesting donations from community members for items to be raffled. Donations can include gift certificates, services, monetary contributions, physical items such as artwork, gift baskets, processed hog/beef, and more.

Our 2025 raffle is scheduled for Friday, October 10th, at The Club, also known as The Preston Servicemen’s Club, coinciding with their Burger Night. We are hopeful for a strong turnout once again this year. With your support, we anticipate a successful raffle event.

The proceeds from the raffle will support our clients and contribute to our transportation fund, as we need a new mobility van.

To make a tax-deductible donation, please email us or complete the donation form. You are welcome to drop off your donations at our location, or if necessary, contact us to arrange a pick-up.

Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please contact us. We can be reached at 507-765-3378 or send an email to: admin@fillmorecountydac.com or jillian@fillmorecountydac.com.
