MARCA at Whetstone friends Kerry Sue and Judy took advantage of the snowy conditions on Monday and had a good old fashioned snowball fight.

Well, it was more like a 21st Century version of a snowball fight indoors where it was warm.

Kerry Sue and Judy enjoyed the sensory activity under the direction of Direct Support Professional Anna Walters. Our staff works hard to provide fun and interesting sensory activities that allow our friends to have enriching experiences each day at MARCA Industries in Morrow and Marion counties.

Marca Industries Inc. is glad to announce that Wally Quillman will be re-joining our staff of kind and caring direct support professionals (DSP) in March.
Wally loves working with the people we serve in Marion and Morrow counties and they love him, too. Like all of our DSPs, Wally is a valued member of our staff and we are looking forward to his return after he retired last year.
Congratulations to Wally on being recognized by the Morrow County Board of Developmental Disabilities on National Leadership Day!
Be sure to look for Wally when he is out and about taking our friends on trips to various places in the community!

Our friends at MARCA at Whetstone in Mount Gilead learned about the solar system on Wednesday and made planets for their art project.

Jojo Bloodheart, Ellen Chipman, Judy Decker, Dora Dietz, John Higgins, Wayne Kuehnle, and Glenn LaVan participated in the planet-building project under the direction of Direct Support Professionals Kali Pierce and Sarah Lowe.

Marca Industries Inc. provides activities and programs at its Mount Gilead and Marion locations that are fun and educational for our friends.

We had a great time bowling on Tuesday with our friends at Morrow Lanes Bowling Center in Cardington.

It was a lot of fun and we even got a little wild, too!

Thanks to our friends at Morrow Lanes for their kindness and hospitality. We really enjoy spending time with them each week.

March is Developmental Disabilities (DD) Awareness Month and we invite you to join with all of us at MARCA Industries in celebrating the people that we and our fellow providers and the good folks at all the county boards across Ohio serve each and every day!

To celebrate DD Awareness Month, our reMARCAbly Made brand is producing logo apparel that you can order and wear to display your support for DD awareness all throughout the month of March and beyond. We have short and long-sleeve t-shirts (adult and youth sizes), hoodies, crew-neck sweatshirts, and even a special tie-dye hoodie available for purchase.

To view all of our products and make your order, go to

DD Awareness & Advocacy Day is March 4 and we will be at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus that day to raise our voices in support of our friends with developmental disabilities!

Thank you for your support as we join together to celebrate DD Awareness Month in March!

Proceeds from our DD Awareness apparel fundraiser directly support services for individuals with developmental disabilities at MARCA Industries. Your purchase helps provide meaningful work opportunities, individualized coaching, essential program supplies, and the resources needed to support growth, independence, and community connection. When you wear orange, you’re not just raising awareness — you’re helping power possibility.
