GROUPS NEEDED.
This activity will take place on a weekend in January and/or February. Our 5 group homes are undergoing interior renovations (repainting, recarpeting, etc.) and we need help temporarily packing up rooms so the work can be done. We need groups of COMPASSIONATE, CARING, and PATIENT people that will work with our adults to help them pack up their rooms. All of our residents of developmental disabilities and this process will likely be a very stressful time for them, but with a little patiences and willingness to work with our folks, it can be a positive experience for them.
This is a good opportunity for service groups, church groups, families, etc. We need to tackle these projects on the weekend and we need to start on the first homes immediately.
If you have a small group that can come together for this project on a Saturday or Sunday, please contact Nick Reynolds. Thank you in advance!

Mission Statement
Hi-Hope Service Center supports adults with developmental disabilities by building and sustaining individual independence.
Description
In 1960 the parents of six young students from Gwinnett County founded one of the first organizations in Georgia to teach children with intellectual disabilities. Under the capable leadership of Mrs.Vinie Lowry and support from many parents and the greater Gwinnett Community construction of a special needs school was completed in 1970. A special needs preschool was added subsequently. In the late 1990’s when all student programs, including the pre-school program, were integrated into the public schools, Hi-Hope became an adult only program.
Today, Hi-Hope Center carries on the founders' legacy of caring and innovation by supporting adults with developmental disabilities by building and sustaining their independence.
