It’s hard to believe, but #GivingTuesday is just one day away! After today, #CyberMonday, the hectic shopping days will die down a bit, and we’ll be able to take a much-needed breather.

Thanksgiving is just two days away. From the turkey and pumpkin pie to football and family time, there’s nothing quite like Thanksgiving.

We’ve started our official countdown to #GivingTuesday! We’re so excited to be just two weeks away from this amazing day centered around kindness and philanthropy.

As most of you are probably aware, CLI recently published a Family Cookbook. For several months, we collected recipes from staff, people we serve, families, local sponsors and businesses, and other supporters of Community Living.

Here at CLI, we just love October. It’s fall, the leaves are changing, and Halloween is just around the corner. But this year, we have another reason to love this month: Bingo! Our fall bingo is just a couple of weeks away, and we’re so excited! This bingo will be even more fun because it’s…
