We’re honored to feature a story of one of our persons supported who works in Supported Employment.

Keith Davis is having wonderful success in his employment role and we wanted to congratulate him by putting him in the spotlight. The Supported Employment Spotlight!

Keith came to MHDS in 1979, so we’ve had a long history with him and we’re proud to be such a big part of his life. Take a few minutes to read his success story.

And keep your eyes out for more heartwarming stories of success in our Supported Employment program.

The Golden Circle Harley Owners Group and Bumpus Harley Davidson teamed up to provide a wonderful Christmas party for 42 persons supported who play SNA sports. Bumpus featured photos and bios of MHDS participants on the Christmas tree in their showroom. They were adopted by the Harley owners who bought them a gift from the wish list and many of them rode their motorcycles to MHDS to deliver the gifts personally. Everyone enjoyed pizza and cupcakes followed by a dance. It was a most enjoyable afternoon for everyone!
