We are Difference Makers
A Difference Maker is an individual whose actions, big or small, create meaningful impact and embody compassion, creativity, and commitment for those we serve and support. At Wendell Foster, we feel that every volunteer, supporter, donor, or employee is a Difference Maker for the people we serve. With 350+ Difference Makers on our staff, Wendell Foster is proud to be one of the region’s largest employers.
Creating Yes! Moments
Yes! Moments are those exciting times that make you want to cheer and say, “YES! I did it!” We believe that each and every Yes! Moment achieved by our clients is significant and should be celebrated.
How we create Yes! Moments
Reaching Goals
We are dedicated to helping each person we serve reach their goals with our person-centered approach. For many, that includes involvement in the community or learning about things that interest them. We support individuals in things such as volunteering, attending church and community events, and obtaining new skills like cooking and gardening.
Achieving Milestones
Our numerous therapies and services help care recipients achieve milestones. For those we serve, these milestones can look like someone learning to say “I love you” to their parents, taking their first steps, or improving social skills to earn their first job.
Fulfilling Dreams
At Wendell Foster, we make dreams come true! With our staff’s support, individuals can participate in experiences beyond their wildest imaginations. Whether it’s seeing the beach for the first time, flying in a private plane, or learning to ski, we believe no dream is too big for those we serve.
