💙 Big things are happening at Kalix! 💙

We’re so excited to share that AgCountry Farm Credit Services has awarded Kalix a $50,000 grant through their Rural Community Grant Fund! 🙌

These funds will help us remodel our residential homes, converting rooms from double to single occupancy. Why does that matter? Because privacy, dignity, safety, and independence aren’t just words, they’re everyday rights. This project helps the people we support feel more at home, and that means everything. 🏡✨

A huge THANK YOU to AgCountry Farm Credit Services for believing in our mission and investing in our community. Together, we’re building more than spaces, we’re building opportunities.💙

As DSP Appreciation Week comes to a close, we can’t help but pause and reflect on what makes Kalix truly special: our Direct Support Professionals.

DSPs are the heart of our mission. They show up day after day; early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays. Meeting people where they are, celebrating independence, and turning everyday moments into opportunities for dignity and purpose.

The work isn’t always easy, but it is always meaningful. Whether it’s supporting someone in reaching a personal goal, creating joy in the small things, or advocating fiercely for the rights of the people we serve, our DSPs embody One Team, One Goal.

To every DSP at Kalix, thank you.
Thank you for your patience when the world feels overwhelming.
Thank you for your creativity in finding solutions.
Thank you for your laughter that makes tough days lighter.
Thank you for being the steady hands, the encouraging words, and the caring presence that make all the difference.

This week was about celebrating you! But the truth is, your impact is felt every single day. 💙
