Background

Located in Long Lake, Minnesota, Orono Woodlands, Inc. (OWI) is a home and intermediate care facility for six adults with varying levels of intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities. 

Founded in 1981 as a private non-profit organization, our core beliefs have remained constant.  We believe that all persons deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality, and to live in a secure and nurturing environment. As a result, OWI provides residents with:

• A safe and loving home in which to live.
• Exceptional full-time, professional care to meet their personal and health needs.
• Individualized program activities targeted to each resident’s needs and abilities.
• Opportunities to make choices and develop personal goals that maximize their health, happiness, well-being, and independence. 

We really need your help!

We have an immediate financial need in two primary areas:

1. House maintenance and repairs.  Though we absolutely love our home and keep great care of it, it is now nearly 40 years old!  There are a few significant and costly upgrades that need to be completed in the coming 6-12 months.  Most critical is the repair or replacement of an aging fire suppression system.
2. Activities and Program Costs.  Our staff is fantastic at making sure residents participate in activities each of them enjoys! However, as our residents age, transporting them to and from events is becoming more difficult and more costly. We anticipate that a vehicle with wheelchair lift capabilities is a likely need in the near future.

On behalf of all residents and staff at Orono Woodlands, we appreciate any assistance you can provide!   Thank you for your consideration and please visit our website: www.oronowoodlands.com
