Melwood was thrilled to host Congressman Glenn Ivey yesterday at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Carver Center in celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Melwood employees, including those with and without disabilities, help support the mission of the USDA by providing total facilities management services, including operations and maintenance, groundskeeping, and custodial services. Rep. Ivey met with Melwood employees, heard their stories, and toured the facility to see the kind of work Melwood employees perform for our customers and experience first-hand the quality of their craftsmanship. #DisabilityEmployment #NDEAM

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Melwood is proud to tell our story and the stories of our employees who, for more than 60 years, have been breaking down barriers and pushing past stereotypes about what is possible and who belongs in the workforce. People with disabilities want to work, are qualified to work and—as Derek demonstrates—are perfect for the job. #NDEAM

Exciting news! Melwood is thrilled to announce that Camp Accomplish has been named a winner in the 2024 Washington Parent Media Picks awards! After we joined forces with Children's National Hospital, Camp Accomplish became even more magical. We won in the categories of “Day Camps—Maryland” and “Sleepaway Camps.” This incredible honor wouldn’t be possible without our amazing community! A huge thank you to all the families, counselors, medical staff, and everyone who helped make this summer so magical for our campers.

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Melwood is proud to tell our story and the stories of our employees who, for more than 60 years, have been breaking down barriers and pushing past stereotypes about what is possible and who belongs in the workforce. We know that people with disabilities are perfect for the job – and we also know that when organizations recruit, hire, and retain workers with disabilities, they report higher profit margins, greater employee morale, lower turnover, and safer working conditions. #NDEAW #DisabilityEmployment #Melwood

Melwood’s Camp Accomplish collaboration with Children's National Hospital, Curley Company, and Contrast & Co. was recognized by the prestigious Nonprofit Communications Awards and CSR & Diversity Awards, hosted by Ragan Communications and PR Daily. Our collaboration won the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Communications award at PR Daily’s Nonprofit Communications Awards last Friday, and recognizes the massive rebranding effort that transformed the identity of Camp Accomplish as a summer camp for children with and without disabilities into a summer experience for children with and without disabilities and chronic health conditions.
