Hermitage, PA (February 17, 2022) - On February 17, 2022, the Whole Life Services family gathered with various members of the community to celebrate their 20th Anniversary at The Avalon at Buhl Park. Established in September of 2001, Whole Life Services has grown from serving one person with a disability, to serving more than 100 people.
Represented at the event by Co-founder and President, Diane Webster, and Executive Director, Soraya Hejazi, Tails of Hope was honored to be recognized as one of Whole Life Service's 2021 Inclusion Champions. Cindy Vogan, Whole Life Services' CEO, presented Tails of Hope with a 2021 Inclusion Champion Award.
“We are honoring them as ‘Inclusion Champions’ because they involve people with disabilities in their programs, have them participate as volunteers, or provide them with job opportunities,” said Cindy Vogan, CEO of Whole Life Services. “By engaging and employing people with disabilities, these businesses are building valuable relationships that benefit everyone in the community.”
Vogan said as a service provider, she wanted to recognize those in the community who show support to those with disabilities and was especially excited to honor this year's Inclusion Champions as a part of the celebration.
Other recipients of Whole Life’s Inclusion Champions Community Engagement awards included: Buhl Club, Buhl Park, Community Food Warehouse, Cornerhouse Christian Food Pantry, DK Studio, Fresh Grounds, Laurel Technical Institute, Prince of Peace, Robert Lark of Mercer County Historical Society, and Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce.
