Shop with a purpose! Kick off your holiday shopping while supporting Brookwood. A 501(c) (3) non-profit, Brookwood provides an educational environment that creates meaningful jobs, builds a sense of belonging, and demands dignity for adults with special needs. Brookwood accepts no government funding. Instead, it is underwritten by its own enterprises in which the citizens hold real jobs (Horticulture, Handicrafts and the Café), by tuition fees, and private-sector donations.
