You've seen the OK GreenCumbers Garden, now meet the OK Farm! Located outside the @reusedepot on Madison, it will be the future home to Knock Out Pickles cucumbers, carrots, peppers and other crops! Help us fill the beds and get the project rolling for the Warriors. Volunteers are wanted tomorrow, Friday, June 3, between 9:30am and 3:30pm. Farming experience is not needed. Please contact Sam at samkehoe19@gmail.com to join the crew! #nonprofit #farmlife #volunteers #volunteerswanted

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

Opportunity Knocks is dedicated to enriching life and community. We exist to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) as they live, work, learn, grow and connect within their community. 

We believe in a dynamic, person-centered and community-based approach to programming that engages the voice of all Warriors, thrives on interdependent connections, encourages exploration, centers on holistic wellness and fostering healthy relationships.

WHO WE SERVE

Perseverance and strength through challenge has led us to nickname our participants Warriors. We are dedicated to providing supports and resources for teens and young adults.

WHY WE SERVE

Opportunities for young people with I/DD are terribly  limited. The state of Illinois ranks 47th in the nation in supporting community-based programs. More than 12,000 are currently awaiting services.
