Transforming Homeward Bound’s Atwood House

A philanthropic partnership years in the making 

We are proud to support Homeward Bound’s mission to provide innovative and life-enriching services for people with disabilities. Their Atwood House is undergoing a major transformation featuring a new family room, laundry area, and bathroom — all designed to help four individuals with disabilities physically navigate their shared home while enjoying fulfilling, dignified lives.
