Who We Are
In 1985, two kindred spirits, Barry and Dawn, met in a small town with a shared vision of making the world a better place. They are passionate about helping others and believe that communities can thrive when people are informed and supported. This shared passion leads them to volunteer in various local projects, where they quickly become known for their warmth and dedication. Over the years, they both work tirelessly, offering their time and resources to anyone in need. They provide guidance on accessing healthcare, education, and social services, always with a smile and a kind word. As the years pass, their reputation as pillars of the community grows, and they have become trusted sources of information and support.
In 2021, recognizing the growing needs of their community and the importance of formalizing their efforts, they decided to establish Opus85, a nonprofit organization dedicated to community outreach and service. The name “Opus85” is a nod to the year they met and began their journey together, a testament to their long-standing commitment to helping others. Opus85 has quickly become a beacon of hope for many. The organization offers workshops on various topics, from financial literacy to healthcare access, and partners with local agencies to provide resources like food, clothing, and shelter.
Their hands-on approach involves direct interaction and personalized support, and their deep understanding of their community’s needs makes Opus85 an indispensable resource. They continue to lead by example, inspiring a new generation of volunteers and community leaders. Their journey, which began with a simple act of kindness in 1985, has blossomed into a powerful force for good, proving that compassion and dedication can transform lives and build stronger communities.
