Today, we continue the Amazing journey inspired by our founding families by embarking on the development of a new community, OE Lakeside, An Amazing place to live, learn and grow.
The Dean and Barbara White Family Foundation has challenged OE, our friends, families and supporters to enhance the lives of hundreds of individuals with disabilities in Northwest Indiana. For one year, they will match every contribution to the capital development of additional residential and day services at OE Lakeside dollar for dollar up to $2 million.
