We had such a wonderful time today with the Dickinson High School 18+ students! 🎉

They stayed busy playing games with our residents, sharing laughs, and creating meaningful connections.

It was a day full of fun, smiles, and new friendships. We truly enjoyed every moment and hope to see them again very soon! 💙

🍪 It’s Friday… you know what that means! 💸

Come grab some delicious Girl Scout Cookies and put a little of that Friday payday money to good use! This is one of our last Girl Scout Cookie booths, so don’t miss your chance to stock up.

You can find us at ACU in La Marque—stop by, treat yourself, and support a great cause!

Sweet treats + a good cause = the perfect way to start the weekend! 😋

If you haven't gotten your Girl Scout cookie fix yet, you're in luck! The ladies of The Independence Village Troop will be selling cookies from our La Marque branch this afternoon. Stop by from 1-3 p.m.!

Even though our event and silent auction have ended, you can still make a difference! 💙

You can support our residents by purchasing a Resident Activity. These activities help keep our residents engaged, active, and enjoying the same everyday experiences many of us take for granted.

One of our residents’ favorite activities is bowling! 🎳 They absolutely love getting out, having fun, and cheering each other on.

The best part? When you purchase an activity, you're invited to join us when we go! It’s a great way to see firsthand the joy your support brings to our residents.

Help us keep the fun going and create more meaningful experiences for our residents! 💙
