DSNWK

Developmental Services of Northwest Kansas plans to begin renovation of its center at 733 9th St., Hoxie, with its first donation to the project being a $2,500 matching grant from the Pete Henry Foundation.

Once this grant has been matched, DSNWK plans to utilize the $5,000 towards Phase 1 of a much needed renovation project of its developmental center in Hoxie.

Phase 1 of this renovation will be to create accessible restrooms and a new utility room. As the intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) population ages, the need to address growing accessibility needs has become one of DSNWK’s top priorities being addressed in their Stronger Forever Together capital campaign.

This developmental center, which was built in 1972 and opened by DSNWK in 1995, is home to DSNWK’s College for Living program. The College for Living provides structured learning opportunities for individuals on life skills and opportunities to participate in classes and subjects that interest them.

If you would be interested in supporting this effort and donating toward the match of this grant, would like more information on the project or the services that DSNWK provides, contact DSNWK at P.O. Box 310, Hays KS 67601, 785-625-5678 or [email protected].

DSNWK is a 501c3 nonprofit serving 18 counties in northwest Kansas with a mission to advocate for persons with disabilities and those who care about them by planning and supporting a life of dignity, interdependence, and personal satisfaction in the community.
