💙 Moments That Matter 💙

Today we want to celebrate something that might look small at first glance—but is truly extraordinary.

Matthew, one of our sensory students, is now coloring independently.
For him, this represents focus, regulation, confidence, and growth that has come through patience, consistency, and love.

This milestone didn’t happen overnight. It is the result of the incredible dedication of Deb and our sensory staff, who show up every day with compassion, creativity, and unwavering belief in the potential of every individual they serve.
Progress looks different for everyone—and every step forward deserves to be honored.

We are so proud of Matthew, and so grateful for the team who continues to create safe, supportive spaces where growth can happen naturally.

✨ This is why we do what we do. ✨

Thank you for everything you do. Here’s our beloved Clarence, lighting up the room with his bright, loving smile.

Love in Action is more than just a fundraising campaign. It's a chance to bridge the financial gap for our residents and forge a meaningful connection. By participating in LIA you are giving love, friendship, and empowerment.

🌱 At the Center of Family Love, our greenhouse is more than a place where plants grow—it’s a place where our residents grow too. Every day, our residents work with dedication, learning responsibility, teamwork, and valuable vocational skills that help prepare them for the future.

We are incredibly grateful for Morgan Wood, Vocational Program Coordinator, whose constant support, guidance, and encouragement make this program thrive. Thank you, Morgan, for always being there for our residents and for helping them grow not only in skills, but also in faith. Your commitment makes a lasting difference. 💚

We are deeply grateful to The Daily Oklahoman for featuring the Center for Family Love on the front page yesterday. This thoughtful and spot-on reflection captures not only where CFL is today, but where we are headed.

As we continue transforming lives and expanding opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, it means so much to see our mission, growth, and future shared with the broader community in such a meaningful way.

A special thank-you to Carla Hinton for her compassionate storytelling and for taking the time to truly understand the heart of the Center for Family Love. Your work helps shine a light on what’s possible when inclusion, vision, and love come together.

We are excited for what’s ahead—and thankful for partners in the media who help tell this important story.
