Woodhaven – Corporate Office
- Arrival Time: 8:45-9:00 a.m.
- Lunch: Delivered on-site.
Why are we serving here?
One of the ways ForColumbia strives to love and serve our neighbors is by supporting non-profit organizations that actively work every day in the lives of people in Columbia.
Woodhaven is an organization that advocates for people with disabilities to enhance their lives and provide quality opportunities for choice and a safe community where individuals with disabilities can connect. Many of those served by Woodhaven live in private homes with a caregiver, allowing them more independence. As a non-profit focused on caring for so many individuals, it’s challenging to also find the time to keep their property up, so this year we are going to serve not only at homes but also at their corporate office. This is why we believe your day will be well spent serving Woodhaven.
