Zenith Services Day Program and Employment Support

November 19th, 2020

To our Friends, Families and Fellow Community Members,

Zenith Services, founded in 1980, is a nonprofit organization in Hopkins, MN providing Day Services and Employment Services to individuals with disabilities.  We dedicate ourselves to providing community connections, community integration and vocational supports to assist in personal development, meaningful opportunities and eliminating barriers to employment.  

This year, unlike years in the past, we have faced many barriers that led to a mandated closure in March of 2020 because of the Governor’s Stay at Home Order due to COVID-19 and a slow, safe reopening of only 50% capacity maximum.  The pandemic has impacted the population we support tremendously, leaving many of our folks without the community resources they so deeply depend on.

Nonetheless, with the help of our leadership team and committed staff, Zenith has continued to offer individualized services to the people we support in a situation that has been less than ideal.  We continue to remain diligent in ensuring the safety of the people we support and our staff by implementing mask wearing and social distancing.   

Again, this year our program has faced obstacles that we have not experienced in the past.  We have utilized our time and resources to ensure our program can operate safely and seamlessly.  We have reconstructed the environment to create partitions, eliminating unnecessary social contact.  We have utilized transportation as a resource for providing individualized services in the community, limiting indoor programming.  We have provided personal protective equipment to our dedicated staff and management team.  We continue to maintain our services despite these challenges and financial implications.   

As in previous years, Zenith Services is asking for your support to help our program maintain its excellence.  A gift of any size will help us exponentially this year, as we navigate through these unprecedented times.  

Thank you in advance for helping us sustain our program and enhance our services.
