K21 Presents Cardinal Services With $20,000 Appreciation GiftK21 Health Foundation this morning made another appreciation gift of $20,000 to Cardinal Services, an organization that has served the community for more than 20 years, as a way to celebrate its 20th year.
In 1954, a group of parents who had children with disabilities came together to find services that would help their children achieve their fullest potential. When they discovered those services were either too far away or too expensive, they decided to create their own. Today, the organization that began in someone’s living room serves more than 4,000 people in the community annually.
Over the years, Cardinal has grown its services to offer Community (Apartment) Living, Day Services, Residential (Group Home) Living and employment services through CCI Manufacturing.
Cardinal also serves children and families through the Women, Infant & Children program (WIC), Head Start/Early Head Start and Healthy Families. It also manages the county public transportation program, Kosciusko Area Bus Service (KABS).
“Kosciusko County is very blessed to have the programs and services that Cardinal offers,” said K21 President and CEO Rich Haddad. “K21 has been glad to partner with and support Cardinal over the years in a variety of ways.”
K21 Health Foundation benefits Kosciusko County citizens to ensure health care services are provided, and to advance prevention and healthy living.
