Barbara Olson Center of Hope is proud to announce it has received a grant from Kiwanis Charities of Rockford to purchase art therapy, program, and technology supplies, which will be used for engaging our participants with developmental disabilities and offering alternative ways for them to enhance the quality of their lives in a safe environment.

2020 has definitely been a challenging year for many, including Barbara Olson Center of Hope. Because of the COVID pandemic, we’ve had to reinvent ourselves, developing new programs to serve our participants, while fulfilling State of Illinois requirements. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve worked hard to provide choices and opportunities that meet the needs of our participants.
