Maryhaven Enriching the Lives of People with Special Needs

Maryhaven creates welcoming environments where people with special needs may reach their highest potential and enjoy a life full of dignity, purpose, and inclusion. Maryhaven’s Residential Programs are family-like group homes and apartment-style communities where adults with special needs can live an independent, purposeful life with support. In addition to providing housing, we support attaining the highest quality of life and personal growth by offering life skills and job training opportunities through our Day Habilitation, Vocational Training, and Supportive Work Programs.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Maryhaven’s Heart of the Harvest Cocktail Reception. We’re still smiling thinking about the live music, delicious food, and the incredible company we shared.

One of the most memorable moments of the night was Kelly Thomas’ inspiring speech. As President of Maryhaven’s Self-Advocacy Committee, Kelly empowers others to speak up, chase their goals, and celebrate their strengths — a reminder of the true impact your support makes.

As we head into the holiday season, we’re sending warm wishes for peace, happiness, and meaningful moments with the people you love. Thank you again for celebrating with us — we can’t wait to share more with you in the year ahead! 💙
