Western Southern Financial Group Has Partnered with Redwood for the 11th Year

Western & Southern Financial Group (W&SFG) and Redwood are celebrating 11 years of being a Community Partners. W&SFG Co-Chair Kent Finley, Redwood's Volunteer Coordinator, Susan Bushey, United Way's President Rob Reifsnyder and Co-Chair Scott Dinius of W&SFG are pictured below.


Western Southern Financial Group of 70+ volunteers landscaped all 5 acres of Redwood! They weeded, fluffed mulch, and trenched all the main entrances during this family friendly project. At the Adult Independence Entrance they donated a nosegay of flowers just in time for the Fall Formal dance. Some of the folks stayed inside and helped clean the classrooms.






Western & Southern Finacial Group gave items to Redwood's wish list for their children and clients.
Redwood guides children and adults with multiple and severe disabilities to achieve independence and reach their highest potential throughout their lives, by providing enriching educational, therapeutic, and vocational services. At Redwood, children and adults flourish, prosper, and are empowered to achieve the quality of life they deserve.

Ethicon Endo Surgery Cleans Up For GCB






















Ethicon Endo Surgery volunteered on Friday, August 29 for a clean-up project for Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCB). The project was at a group residence for mentally ill clients of GCB. The sweltering heat was no deterrant for the enthusiasm and kind and giving spirit of the 29 volunteers. The clean-up work included some landscaping and painting on the outside of the home.


Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCB) is the largest and most comprehensive mental health agency serving adults with severe mental illness in the tri-state area. GCB has a stated, believed and enacted mission to help persons with mental illness and related barriers to lead productive and fulfilling lives.
