Today, Melwood is celebrating 60 years of providing jobs and services to people with disabilities. We continue to utilize the innovative and effective social-entrepreneurial model we were founded on to offer more people with disabilities the careful training they need to become proud and valuable members of the workforce in their communities.
In celebration of our 60th Anniversary and our thousands of dedicated supporters, the 1963 Society has been formed to remember and honor our past, look forward to our exciting future, and recognize the amazing impact of our work and individual donors today.
Melwood’s 1963 Society is a membership group with the mission of raising support for Melwood’s Annual Fund to support critical and innovative projects.
