Sunshine Communities

Sunshine’s mission is to create community among people with developmental disabilities, their families, friends, and staff. We do this by offering services that enable all of us to build relationships that enhance our lives through mutual caring and growth. In pursuit of this mission, we practice Christian values in the tradition of the Mennonite faith, embrace the vision of our founders, Roy and Georgette Engler, and strengthen our community by serving the underserved.

Sunshine Communities, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in northwest Ohio supporting people of all ages with developmental disabilities. We do this through residential, vocational, clinical, therapeutic, and recreational services. These services are offered in various locations including at our Maumee, Ohio campus and at homes within the community. In addition to programs on campus, Sunshine individuals and staff operate Georgette’s Grounds and Gifts, a coffee shop and gift store located in downtown Maumee. Right down the block lies Sunshine Studios, an art studio space and gift store offering a work environment to individuals and classes to the community.
