All around CPARC, folks are celebrating National Pickle Month! 🥒 These folks made some fried pickles to celebrate. Meanwhile, at Life Time, individuals participated in the 'Pickle Challenge.' The clients each tried to guess the difference between sweet pickle juice and dill pickle juice.

This month marked the first meeting of "Empowered", a self-advocacy group. There were 14 self-advocates at the meeting. Everyone was engaged and excited to learn skills in advocating for themselves and others!

Jason, Dale, Michelle, and Jessica from Life Time all volunteered at Country Meadows through the program "Life Song", a Hospice organization. They had the opportunity to meet with residents and strike up conversation. They plan to visit every 2 weeks! 😊

Some folks at Community Fusion went to Kreider Farms Tour in Manheim last week. They learned how they milk cows and how the calving process went. While it was a hot day, they enjoyed the tour and getting see all of the cute cows! 🐮🥛

The 2024-25 Pennsylvania State Budget has passed!

Thank you to everyone that has rallied with us and used their voices to advocate for funding to ID/A services in PA. We know that more funding ensures that Pennsylvanians with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive the care they need and deserve.

This budget does bring progress despite the final investment being less than originally proposed. More detailed information is still being released regarding this budget and its impact.

Together we empower, inspire, and educate. Thank you for your advocacy!
