Church’s Mission “Springbrook” (Formerly Upstate Home for
Children) The Springbrook team is comprised of
dedicated individuals who understand the ever-changing needs of the individuals
and families. Springbrook is committed to working in
partnership with clients and their families to help each person attain their
personal goals and dreams. Through recruitment, hiring, training and evaluation,
Springbrook is committed to maintaining quality staff
members who are not only compassionate, but skilled and knowledgable.
Spring brook has a heritage based on providing care and treatment to
under-served individuals. Springbrook staff members
believe that learning never ends, that challenges are opportunities, and that
dependence can be transformed into independence. Programs are designed to teach
the skills needed to maximize potential while putting each experience in
context. Each person’s unique abilities, interest, talents and needs are a key
part of program planning with every individual’s goals and desire predicated first
by their humanity, not their disability. Work at school, in communities, and in
each home is designed to create an all- inclusive learning experience that
makes every day a chance to discover, build and grow. Thank you for your generous contributions to our mission outreach on
March 16th. $177 was received for the Budget. (We still need another
$123 this month to make the Food for the Needy contribution). $606 was received
