Spring has us all smiling around here! Seth and Jessica recently made the most of the sunshine during a walk at Berthusen Park in Lynden.

We hope you've had a chance to get outside and enjoy the spring weather!

Folks from Cascade Christian Home decided there was not enough snow this year and went on a trip to Mt. Baker to have a snow day! 🏔️❄️

The day was filled with music, laughter, and of course snow-covered activities. Despite the cold, they enjoyed the thrill of the day and ended the event with a picnic enjoying the mountain top. Some individuals did not want to get back in the car to return home. 🚐

We were honored to be named Nonprofit of the Year at the Ferndale Chamber of Commerce ’s recent Flower Basket Gala!

It was an incredible evening celebrating the energy and heart of the Ferndale business community, and we’re proud to be part of it.

All of us at Cascade Connections are excited to keep growing, serving, and showing up for Ferndale. Big thanks to Erin and Carma for representing us at the event, and to everyone who makes this community such a special place to live and work!

Sometimes the biggest milestones happen quietly, on an ordinary day, and mean everything.

A few weeks ago, Alex decided (completely on his own) to make a shopping list, writing out each item clearly and thoughtfully. He then calculated the costs as he went, working to stay within his budget. With just a little support at the end, he brought it all together.

No stress. No overwhelm. Just independence in action.

Moments like this remind us how important the support we provide in our Supported Living program really is. Two years ago, this would have felt out of reach. Today, it’s a powerful example of what’s possible with perseverance, support, and consistency.

We hope you all had a lovely Easter! 🌸 At Cascade Christian Home, everyone woke up smiling, enjoyed breakfast, and got dressed in their Sunday best before diving into their Easter baskets. The fun continued all morning with new toys and lots of laughter.

Staff prepared a delicious ham and scalloped potato lunch, it was so good there wasn’t a single bite left! Afterward, it was time for an Easter egg hunt, with each client taking turns to find their eggs at their own pace (and with a little help from staff).

The celebration wrapped up with sweet treats from the eggs and a cute (and tasty!) cake waiting for snack time. A joyful day all around! 🐣

Meet Kristal! Kristal joined Cascade Connections' Board of Directors late last year as our Client Representative. She was encouraged by her support team to join the Board because she is a fierce advocate for herself and others with disabilities.

Kristal enjoys the independence afforded to her through our Supported Living program and looks forward to providing insight into how to improve our services to ensure they meet the needs of the people we support. In her free time, Kristal enjoys reading, singing and spending time with her boyfriend.
