In 1985, we opened an internally financed candle-making
workshop to provide work for our core members who have little or no
government funding to support their need for vocational expression. We
expanded this in 1994 and included two people from the wider
community.
The Activity Center produces hand made candles and cards. The day program supports the Family Worker Kitchen by helping to prepare dinner once a week.
Mamook is supported by donations from generous benefactors and
invaluable support from the Lutheran and the Jesuit Volunteer Corps for
providing with volunteers each year and to whom we are very
grateful.
"The commnuities wish to enable people with developmental disabilities to work, believing work to be an important means of integration."
