Winter Growth is a Medical Adult Day Program and Assisted Living facility that has been proudly serving the Olney and Columbia communities for over 45 years. Its mission is to foster a supportive and vibrant community where seniors and adults with disabilities can continue to learn, grow, and live with purpose and joy.

We are currently seeking new members to join our Board of Directors. Above all, we’re looking for individuals who believe in our mission and are passionate about making a difference. We are especially in need of expertise in the following areas:

Finance (ability to review and understand budgets and financial projections) 

Business development

Marketing

Real estateHealth care

Insurance and/or law

The Board plays an advisory role, offering oversight of the organization’s finances, leadership, and mission alignment. It meets six times per year, and each board member serves on at least one committee: Marketing & Fund Development, Succession, Board Development, or Health Regulations. Our board is a collaborative, committed, and collegial group—and we’d love to add new voices to the table.

If you're interested in learning more, we invite you to begin with an informal conversation with a current board member—perhaps over lunch—followed by a tour of one of our facilities. From there, we can explore the possibility of board membership together.

This is a good opportunity to spend some time with our clients, as well as have some fun. Come in and help with tabletop games. Examples include calling out numbers to Bingo, and playing games such as scrabble or cards. We have some clients who enjoy UNO. Help us keep an upbeat environment with these games.

Our goal is to make Winter Growth feel like a beautiful home away from home for all of our clients. We are continuing with that goal by replacing things we do not need with new items. This involves cleaning out our activity closets, to make more space. We would really appreciate some help cleaning up and organizing our activity space, and closets.

At Winter Growth, we have some Jewish clients. We love the idea of having a volunteer who can do a meaningful program with them. Many of our clients struggle with attending programs or services outside of the facility. This could include doing a program on a holiday. We are eager to have a volunteer for this year's Rosh Hashanah on 9/15/2023.
