History |
| |
Wickenburg Ducks in a Row Foundation became incorporated on May 29,
2003.
Initial goals of the foundation were to provide independent housing
for adults with disabilities who live in the Wickenburg area; start a
workshop to help provide jobs for adults with disabilities start an
adaptive recreational group and start a parent support group.
The Advisory Council to the Arizona Governor's Council on
Developmental Disabilities helped Wickenburg Ducks in a Row Foundation
organize an adaptive recreational program for people with
developmental disabilities and is monitoring the program plus using
the program as a pilot project for other rural communities in
Maricopa County,
Arizona.
Because of restricted funds the Foundation was unable to provide
housing and staff. The Department of Developmental Disabilities for
the State of Arizona became aware of the Foundation's situation and
provided an expansion of a group home in Wickenburg. AmeriServe
International, Inc has been chosen as the agency to service the
expansion of a group home and has leased a home for four adult men in
Wickenburg. Wickenburg Ducks in a Row Foundation is applying for the
Viola Wellik Grant to help support an adaptive recreational program
for special needs persons in Wickenburg, AZ.
