LaDonna Kennedy, 58, provides an encouraging environment for people with special needs to reach their potential. She moved to Mountain Grove in 2012, after working as a cabinetmaker and a certified nursing assistant. “I saw an advertisement for a shop manager at Unique Services, a sheltered workshop,” recalls LaDonna. “I applied, was hired and six years later I’m still living my dream.”

Unique Services employs people with special needs, giving them a job and more importantly, a purpose.

With boundless energy and a ready smile LaDonna inspires her community to support Unique Services. “God blessed me with a loving heart and an accepting spirit for all people,” said LaDonna. “Unique Services gave me a purpose. I come to work to give and receive love.”
