Hands-on opportunities to contribute and belong
NEEDED | Paws, Gardens, Cafe, Creations, and Life Skills work together to create hands-on opportunities for contribution, skill building, and belonging.
NEEDED | Paws
A dog boarding and pet care program designed to provide excellent care for pets while creating supervised, meaningful work opportunities for adults with disabilities.
NEEDED | Gardens
Gardens and greenhouse spaces where participants can grow flowers, herbs, produce, and confidence through hands-on work in creation.
NEEDED | Cafe
A future gathering place for coffee, baked goods, hospitality, and community connection.
NEEDED | Creations
Handmade goods, packaging, gifts, and creative work that allow participants to make and sell products with pride.
NEEDED | Life Skills
Life Skills is not a separate building or program day -- it is the thread of daily-living and work-readiness skill building woven through Paws, Gardens, Cafe, and Creations, so every hour of hands-on work also builds practical independence and confidence.
