Mission Event: Parkwood Group Home

Twice the kids’ community group has gone on field trips to Parkwood, a city-run group home for disabled people in Carytown.

If you ask the children, they would probably say that this has been one of the most fun things they have done together.  They love playing games with the people who live there, spending time talking to them, handing out homemade cookies and cards, and meeting new people.  Their initial nervousness about going to a new place has given way to an excitement about seeing who will be there. Slowly (because of the unpredictable nature of the facility and our drop-in schedule) the children are finding connections with new friends at Parkwood.
