Established in 1964, the agency's mission is to help individuals with disabilities to unleash their potential so that they may live life as a part of his/her community, with as much independence as possible.  The organization is able to accomplish this mission by providing life skills training, residential services, employment training and placement, behavioral health programs and children and family services.
Hope Haven provides support to adults, children and families across Iowa and Southwest Minnesota, having served over 1485 people last year.
Globally, Hope Haven International delivers hope and mobility through the free gift of a wheelchair, thus far distributing over 105,000 wheelchairs to people in 107 countries.  Hope Haven also has staffed programs in Romania, Guatemala and Vietnam.  This past year, Hope Haven served 168 children and adults with disabilities in Spencer and Clay County.
