Community Outreach: IDEA HOUSE

Thank you to all our VanDevere volunteers for taking time out of work to support this months organization, IDEA House! 

IDEA House is an educational and intervention service for K-12 children with autism. They are a faith based program that, “… strive to maintain a fervent and dedicated spirit that remains faithful & perseveres in the midst of difficulty.” Currently they have 30 kids attending the school. The staff is so supportive, kind, and caring. They even gave the team a tour of the classrooms and explained how they began. Initially the grounds were a turkey farm house, now converted into a school house. There are currently 17 staff members ready to help the children and grow the organization.

The VanDevere team is grateful for the experience to help the members of IDEA House. They were able to organize and clean their supply rooms filled with crafts, science projects, holiday decorations, paperwork and more. Beyond thankful for the opportunity to support such an amazing group. Looking forward to the next volunteer event. Thank you VanDevere team and IDEA House for all you do!

Medina County SPCA – VanDevere Employee Volunteering

We were very excited to have the opportunity to help Medina County SPCA this past weekend. Our team was able to help landscape this great organizations grounds. Everything went well and it was a nice sunny day to do it.  Not a cloud in the sky! They were very appreciative of our time assisting the building’s outdoor spaces. I think it is ready for pets to be adopted and meet their new owners!

We officially added 15 more hours to our end of the year goal of 500 hours. Our next giving back opportunity is at Coventry local schools to help uplift the exterior of the buildings. This event will be on Tuesday, August 15th.
