Kennedy-Donovan Center, Inc. (KDC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1969 on the principle that all individuals have the right to participate and thrive in their community. Kennedy-Donovan Center supports people with developmental delays, disabilities or family challenges to pursue their personal potential and success in the community. We fulfill our mission through a number of programs, which we offer in several regions: Early Intervention (EI), Early Intervention Partnerships, Healthy Families, KDC School (a 240-day developmental day school), Day Habilitation Services, Family Support Services/ Respite Care, Intensive Foster Care, and Transitional Job Support, as well as various residential support programs: Shared Living, Adult Family Care, Supported and Supervised Living, and Individual Support. Each year, our diverse and dedicated staff of 600+ employees and 300 respite home care providers and foster parents, serves over 10,000 children, adults and families with (or at risk for) developmental disabilities or delays, and their families. We meet the needs of disabled individuals and their families throughout their life – from pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, into adulthood and the senior years. We operate a range of programs, including many in-home services, from eight community offices and 10 residences, to families in 160 communities across eastern and south central Massachusetts. We cover over 50% of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The World Food Programme was created in 1961, as an experiment to provide food aid through the UN system. In 1965, WFP became a fully-fledged UN programme, to last for as long as multilateral food aid is found feasible and desirable. Today, WFP is the worlds largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. WFP assists 80 million people in around 80 countries each year, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience. On any given day, WFP has 5,000 trucks, 20 ships and 70 planes on the move, delivering food and other assistance to those in most need. In emergencies, WFP is often first on the scene, providing food assistance to the victims of war, civil conflict, drought, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, crop failures and natural disasters. When the emergency subsides, WFP helps communities rebuild shattered lives and livelihoods. We also work to strengthen the resilience of people and communities affected by protracted crises by applying a development lens in our humanitarian response.
We collectively create health or lack of health. Caregiver, service giver, policymaker and, most importantly, each one of us. Healthy individuals can create a healthy community. We are all in this together, creating, delivering and receiving care and services. Our CCO is a single organism, a community, an integrated collection of care and services that prevents illness and promotes and restores health in all its many meanings: physical, social, behavioral. Health Share is also a community of members who actively engage to the best of their abilities. Because without individual responsibility, there ultimately cannot be health. We know that it is better to prevent illness than treat it, better to stay on top of chronic conditions, better to provide people what they need to take care of themselves. In our community, members get the care they need, when they need it. What’s more, care goes into the community to serve them where they are. In our community, members receive the care they need regardless of race, ethnicity, social situation or literacy levels. Barriers are removed and doors are opened for the benefit of member health. In our community, care and services come from whatever source is most appropriate. We acknowledge, respect and include all providers of care and services. We count as partners any and all organizations that help our members, whether by contract or by mission. And that help extends far beyond the provision of care, to the basic needs that all people have and are entitled to: education, housing, employment, safety and more. Our mission is to develop an integrated community health system that achieves better care, better health and lower costs for the Medicaid population and the Tri-County community.
