All about involvement
Katie’s Place—a community support program with locations in Roanoke and Lynchburg—offers day support services to individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for adults with disabilities; and that includes providing opportunities for them to demonstrate skills of selfsufficiency and achieving goals, while at the same time, contributing to their community in meaningful ways.

“We offer a structured way and caring place for individuals with special abilities to go out into the community to interact, develop their skills, and give back,” says Heather Hicks, the program director of Katie’s Place. “We help individuals live a full circle of life… with socialization, employment, and in-home services.”
Katie’s Place accepts support from financial contributions, donation of items such as office/home/craft supplies and healthy snacks, and community involvement. Volunteers are also sought, appreciated, and utilized!
