For us, May is jam-packed with activities and events, and we’re super pumped to get started. Here’s what we have coming up this month: First off, we…
CLI has introduced a ton of fun, new events in the past several months. But this one might just be our most exciting yet. On Sunday, June 25, we’ll have our first-ever 5K walk fundraiser! The #CommunityStrong Walk 2017 will kick off at our Vocational Services building on Wisner Street with registration/check in at 9…
Here at CLI, we know how lucky we are. We are surrounded by an absolutely amazing community that supports our mission and programs. The people and businesses of Frederick are kind, compassionate and giving, and we’ve been fortunate enough to benefit from that generosity time and again. When it came time to start getting prizes…
It’s officially spring, and it’s finally starting to feel like it. The temperature has been rising (albeit mixed with more than a little rain), and the flowers are starting to bloom. As we near April, our commercial’s run in Westview Cinema reaches a close. We’re so very thankful for the sponsors who made this dream…
It’s hard to believe with the impending snow storm but, yes, spring is almost upon us. And, even though it seems like we JUST held our fall bingo, we’re already well into planning our spring event! Spring bingo is pretty exciting for us for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being we…
We’re back! We had so much fun at Barnes & Noble in July, we’re coming back in January! Barnes & Noble, in Frederick, was kind enough to welcome us for a bookfair fundraiser last summer. On Saturday, Jan. 14, we’ll be back, manning a table from 10 to 4 p.m. to raise awareness about…

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. We ended up with more than 250 recipes and a whole lot of pride. You see, projects like these really…
