Community Living Connections, Inc.

?? Thankful for Our Incredible CLC Community ?? As we gather this Thanksgiving, we’re filled with gratitude for the heart and dedication of our amazing staff and program participants who make CLC so special. ?? Donna, the mom of one of our participants, recently shared this touching message about Joy, one of our staff members: "Joy has been so wonderful in assisting Austin. She’s so on top of things and at times thinks of things I’ve forgotten. Austin's life runs so smoothly, and I never have to worry about his care with her. It’s during this time of Thanksgiving that she comes to mind. She has truly improved Austin's quality of life. A HUGE thank you to Joy and Austin’s CLC team!" This message is a beautiful reminder of how our work creates peace of mind and transforms lives. ?? To our staff: thank you for your tireless compassion, problem-solving, and care. To our program participants and their families: thank you for trusting us to walk this journey with you. We are grateful for each and every one of you. Together, we are stronger, more compassionate, and more connected. Happy Thanksgiving from the entire CLC team! ???? #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #ThankYouTeamCLC #BuildingCommunity Image Description: Thanksgiving graphic with festive images of CLC program participants

?? A Comfortable New Beginning for Cody! Meet Cody, a long-time participant with CLC who recently achieved a big goal—getting a brand-new recliner to make his house feel even more like home! ???? For Cody, having a comfortable place to relax after a long day means more than just furniture—it’s about creating a space where he feels secure and supported. With the help of his incredible team at CLC, Cody navigated the process, found the perfect recliner, and couldn’t be happier. ?? This small change has made a BIG difference in Cody's daily life, and it’s moments like this that remind us why we do what we do. ?? Your support makes stories like Cody’s possible.
