community outreach

Clovernook appreciates the chance to return value to the community through a variety of endeavors. Our outreach efforts affect a wide range of people, and they are shining examples of how our work can impact lives beyond those we directly serve.

Some ways Clovernook has recently made an impact on the community include:

  • Clovernook artist Lauren Allen participated in Cincinnati’s “Bats Incredible!” project with her wall of bats sculpture entitled “Lauren’s Batty Alien.”
  • Clovernook became the sponsor of Cincinnati’s 513-241-1010 Weatherline Forecast Service, which provides valuable weather information to the community while promoting Clovernook’s services.
  • Memphis operations began new partnerships with Shelby County and Memphis City Schools and the Children’s Museum of Memphis to donate Clovernook’s surplus paper products.
  • Cincinnati’s Orientation and Mobility specialists provided consultations for Fifth Third Bank, Heritage Village at Sharon Woods, Great American Ballpark, Cincinnati Children’s Museum and PNC Bank on how to make them more friendly and accessible to persons with disabilities.
  • Clovernook representatives attended Cincinnati METRO’s ground breaking for the new $9.3 million Government Square Transit Center. We worked closely with METRO to ensure the new transit center is “user friendly” for people with disabilities.
“Enhancing lives is what Clovernook is all about. We’re always grateful for the opportunity to give back.”

A tactile map was created through the work of Clovernook employees and was donated to the 1,000 Hands Playground at Sawyer Point on Clovernook’s behalf. The map, created by Baron Engravers, enables people who are blind or have low vision to have a better understanding of the playground’s layout.
