Building
Community

2019 Graceworks Lutheran Services
Annual Report

“For as in one body we have many members
and not all the members have the same function
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ
and individually we are members one of another.”
Romans 12: 4-5

For the senior and disabled clients that Graceworks serves every day, nothing is more impactful than having a sense of community. Our clients thrive when given the opportunity to belong and be loved. Our mission itself is built upon the cornerstones of dignity and wholeness of life, and we believe that life can only be dignified and whole when we are all working together. At Graceworks Lutheran Services, we are doing more than caring for our clients who are facing changing and challenging circumstances. We are building community.

Programs Spotlight

Love Has No Limitations

Enhancing Lives with Enhanced Living Clients

The Graceworks Enhanced Living Dayton Day Program provides its clients countless opportunities to explore and enjoy their community. In the last year alone, they’ve boarded buses for ballgames and fishing trips. They’ve experienced the thrills of zip lining and laser tag. They sampled foods they had never tasted before. And they watched in wonder at theatres and museums. Perhaps their greatest satisfaction came when they volunteered in their community to lend a collective helping hand to others.

Perfect Harmony

Housing Services Residents Pay It Forward

The residents of Graceworks Trinity Community in Union City keep an active social calendar. From movie nights and Bible Study to arts and crafts, card games and gardening, there is no shortage of options to pass the time. But when a neighboring nursing and rehabilitation center made them an offer this summer, they ended up with something that packed a much bigger punch than a game of bingo: A rock concert for charity in their own back yard!

Nice Work!

Students Find Opportunity at Bethany Village

The Integrated Transition Options Program (ITOP) at Centerville High School provides students with disabilities the opportunity to gain hands-on real world, real job experience. It’s a special combination of career technical education and special education to support students with special needs that may need additional help to gain access to the workplace. And for Katie and Adam, it was their gateway to their first job at the welcoming community of Bethany Village.
