What's New and What's Next

May was full of fun and exciting activities and events here at Great Bay Services. In this issue we'll share with you a bit from our "Night for the Roses" event; our new program and facility based in Sanford Maine; a great venture from GBS as we introduce our New Healthy Vending business; and there's a lot taking place in the New Hampshire legislature that greatly affects the men and women who receive our services in New Hampshire.              Visit our site...

Great Bay's newest Business Venture: HUMAN Healthy Vending! 

Great Bay Services has recently started their own Healthy Vending business!!!!  As we all know funding for developmental disabilities are shrinking every year, so we need to start thinking outside the box and find alternative funding sources.  One way that Great Bay is doing this is through a partnership with a franchise called h.u.m.a.n. Healthy Vending.

We Focus on Abilities, Not Disabilities.

Great Bay Services was the first New Hampshire organization of its kind dedicated to helping intellectually and developmentally challenged individuals. For six decades, in locations across southern New Hampshire and Maine, we've supported them, their families, those who care for them, and those in our communities that participate alongside them in the wealth of activities and classes we offer at our community center.
