You need stuff? We got stuff.

“If we can take care of something like furniture, that allows more funding to go toward what really matters—helping people through their therapies and experiences.” — Chris Adkins

As Dreams With Wings continues to grow, so does its need for space—and support.

After experiencing continued growth in participation in our Adult Day Program, Dreams With Wings acquired yet another space to house our expanded adult day program, Dreams in Flight. Previously operating out of a shared studio space, the move marked a major step forward.

But with that growth came a challenge: furnishing an entirely new environment from the ground up. Tables, desks, shelving, chairs, and technology were all essential to creating a space where participants could learn, connect, and thrive.

Dreams in Flight is a program designed for adults ages 18 and older transitioning out of high school or post-graduate programs. Focused on independent living skills, creativity, community engagement, and real-world experiences, the program is built to foster confidence, connection, and opportunity.

Good thing the program director, John Day happens to have a really great connection: his buddy, Chris Adkins of Louisville Office Furniture.

With a personal connection to the special needs community through his wife, a nurse practitioner at Lee’s Specialty Clinic, Chris understood the need immediately. John reached out saying, “We need stuff.” Chris response?

“We have a lot of stuff, we can definitely help you guys out.”

“He asked if maybe we could offer a discount,” Chris recalls. “I told him, we’ll just donate.”

For Chris, the decision was rooted in both experience and perspective.

“Once individuals reach adulthood, the funding and support drop off significantly,” he told us, knowing that DWW is no stranger to the concept. “So if we can step in and help with something like furniture, it frees up resources for what really matters.”

Founded in 2006, Louisville Office Furniture has built its reputation on quality, service, and community. As a locally owned business, its mission goes beyond providing furniture—it’s about meeting needs, creating solutions, and giving back wherever possible.

From supporting refugee employment and housing initiatives to assisting veteran programs like Honor Flight, the company’s impact extends far beyond its showroom.

“It’s not just office furniture,” Chris says. “It could be service, space, or whatever we’re able to provide.”

In this case, it’s helping create a space where individuals can build independence, express themselves creatively, and form meaningful connections.

Chris and the team at Louisville Office Furniture are just one more example of the true heart of service and community in our great city. We are so thankful for this community partnership, and we’re already seeing our adult Dreamers give back in meaningful ways—continuing the cycle of people helping people.
