VersAbility Resources Opens New Puller Center Location in Gloucester
VersAbility Resources opened its new Lewis B. Puller Center at 6750 Main Street, Suite 100B in Gloucester.
To better serve the communities of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck, VersAbility Resources relocated its day support services to the new location. The new site is only minutes away from the former Puller Center location and provides a more welcoming atmosphere for program participants.
VersAbility Resources began operating the Lewis B. Puller Center in 2001 to provide long-term employment, training, and day support services for adults with disabilities.
“We are excited that the new location will allow us to enhance and expand our services for people of all abilities and their families,” said Kasia Grzelkowski, President and CEO of VersAbility. “This significant investment in the future of services marks a new beginning for those we serve throughout the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck communities. It also marks a reinvestment in creating opportunities and supporting the wellbeing of people with disabilities, ensuring that they have tools and resources they need to thrive.”
VersAbility is a leading provider of comprehensive services for people with disabilities of all ages. Headquartered in Hampton, the nonprofit provides early childhood, residential, day support and diverse employment programs throughout Hampton Roads and beyond.
“As we continue to go forward, we plan on expanding our community engagement program, which will allow our individuals to participate in a variety of activities in the community, not just through the normal nine-to-five hours, but also outside of those hours, where they will really be able to have a life like yours or ours,” said Lakisa Ward, Vice President of Programming and Operations. “If that means going to a concert, to a play, an amusement park, anything like that that we typically do on our weekends in our lives, we’re going to expand our community engagement services to be able to offer that to every single individual that has the funding for us to be able to do that.”
