Day Support Programs
The Day Support Programs provide stimulating activities for participating individuals.
We are active in the local community
- A small group of participants support the local Meals on Wheels program three days a week by picking up and distributing meals to seniors in Winsted.
- We recycle bottles & cans, using the funds to purchase items for our program.
- We venture out into the community for a variety of events including picnics at local parks, visits to farms, libraries and museums, basketball, bowling, birdwatching, feeding the ducks in the park, walking on trails, scavenger hunts, galleries, animal shelters, and more.
