Community Integration
VOICES
VOICES of Open Door is a service club made up of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. VOICES stands for Volunteer, Opportunities, Inclusion, Community, Encouragement, and Self- Advocacy. Our purpose is to give members the opportunity to develop initiative and leadership skills while demonstrating that everyone has value and worth and can serve their community.
Some Cool Stuff We Do
Car Wash Club members hold a car was each summer, which raises funds to further VOICES' mission. This is a free- will donation that helps members purchase materials for various service projects.

Bake Sale Club members bake homemade goods to give away for free- will donations that benefit VOICES' mission!
Feed My Starving Children Club members volunteer to hand- pack dried food in bags that are sealed, boxed, and shipped to needy children around the world. Learn more here.
Park Clean- Up Club members partner with the local park district and volunteer to help clean up our local parks. This has helped make a big difference in the community!
