About

Hope Haven is a faith based, non-profit agency and has been a pioneer in its ministry for 49 years.
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.

Mission Statement:  "As followers of Christ we unleash potential in people through work and life skills so that they may enjoy a productive life in their community."
Vision Statement:  Hope Haven is community committed to the special creation of God that is the human being; encouraging the realization of dreams, desires, and aspirations, valuing gifts, talents and contributions, sharing accountability for individual and community growth.
