Melwood advocates for and empowers people with disabilities by expanding opportunities to work and thrive in the community
Melwood was founded on three key principles: innovation, inclusion, and social good. We’re deeply rooted in these principles on which we built a vibrant organization and inspired a community. Melwood supports children, youth, and adults with disabilities to work and play where and how they choose. We provide employment, job training, life skill improvement, supportive and recreational services to more than 2,000 people with disabilities each year.
We provide services to a wide range of clients in the private sector as well as to state and local governments and the federal government. Our customers have entrusted to us their routine and specialized needs. Furthermore, we operate 60 federal contracts, delivering high-quality total facility management, custodial, ground-keeping, and recycling services at 43 sites in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia.
