Spotlight on Ministry

Where love is made visible by service

The largest ministry of Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting, Quaker Heights Care Community began in 1905 as a boarding home built under the care and support of the Yearly Meeting.

The current Spotlight on Ministry article is on Quaker Heights Care Community: its history, vision, values, and needs.  There is also a link at the end of the article to the recently published book on the history of giving to Friends Boarding Home (now known as Quaker Heights) by Genealogist Karen Campbell.

    Click on the Title or the picture of the spotlight to read the article.
