“When you see an organization where the enthusiasm goes through the entire place, especially in their care for the clients, it’s easy to want to volunteer, work and donate to them. You know that things are going in the right direction. Laura Baker Services truly is a unique place, and the rewards are endless when you participate with them.”

“What impressed me, first of all, is that it all started over one hundred years ago and has lasted through today. I think Laura Baker was a very progressive, unbelievable woman. Secondly, the approach to care is at a very respectful, very mature level. Instead of taking care of people it’s helping people take care of themselves. They are part of our community, integrated into society instead of being shut away. That’s a really big positive. Contributing to Laura Baker benefits you as an individual, benefits the community and it benefits your employees, if you give as an employer. I think we get so wrapped up in our day-to-day business that we forget the impact we can have on others.
