We are incredibly proud to share that Open Door Rehabilitation Center has been named Nonprofit of the Year by the Sandwich Area Chamber of Commerce .

This recognition reflects the heart of our mission—opening doors and creating opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Every day, our team works to provide vocational, residential, and community support services that empower individuals to grow, thrive, and reach their fullest potential.

This award is not just about our organization; it belongs to our incredible participants, dedicated staff, supportive families, and the entire community that stands behind us. Your encouragement and belief in what we do make all the difference.

We are honored to be recognized among so many impactful organizations and remain committed to serving our community with compassion, purpose, and excellence.

Yesterday was Superhero Day and we had so much fun celebrating!
We spent the day coloring superhero masks and dressing up with the masks and capes. We loved dressing up and using our imaginations to become heroes for the day. It was fun to see their creativity and excitement shine!
