😁 We’re excited to share this wonderful feature from The Lakes Magazine - West Edition highlighting the heart of what we do at Marshall-Starke Development Center.

Every day, our team empowers individuals to explore their strengths, grow their skills, and choose their own path — whether it’s art, cooking, volunteering, employment, or simply finding joy in community.

For more than 60 years, MSDC has stood as a place of possibility, inclusion, and support. And we’re just getting started. 💙💚

Thank you to The Lakes Magazine for spotlighting our mission and the incredible people who make MSDC what it is.

A sense of purpose has defined Marshall-Starke Development Center (MSDC) for more than six decades.

Ability looks different for everyone.

When we recognize and respect those differences, we create opportunity.

🏀 This past Sunday was all about teamwork, confidence, and community!

Some of our very own participants took part in the basketball tournament held at Culver Community High School, and we couldn’t be more proud of how they showed up and represented. Our participants play basketball through Special Olympics, and events like this give them the opportunity to compete, grow, and shine on and off the court.

🥇 Wildcats Team
Several MSDC participants competed as part of the Wildcats team. While not all team members were from MSDC, we’re excited to share that the Wildcats brought home GOLD!

🥈 Manitou Fulton County Dream Team
Participants from our Manitou Center competed on the Manitou Fulton County Dream Team. While not all players were Manitou participants, the team had an incredible showing and earned SILVER.

Events like this are about more than medals. They’re about inclusion, teamwork, confidence, and creating opportunities for individuals to participate, compete, and succeed.
