Saturdays just got a little more exciting at Bello Machre! 💛

We're happy to share that our Community Development Services (CDS) are now available on Saturdays, bringing even more opportunities for the people we support to get out, connect, and enjoy their communities!

What makes our CDS programs unique? The people we support help shape their own experiences! From choosing activities based on their interests to exploring new places, building friendships, and learning new skills, every day is centered around what matters most to them.

And now, we're bringing those same opportunities to Saturdays! 💙

Take a look back at an incredible day at Queenstown Harbor! ⛳🎥

Our 42nd Annual Golf Tournament brought together 146 golfers and helped raise more than $127,000 in support of the people and families we serve.

From a great day out on the course to some of our favorite tournament traditions, including the Sausage Stop, there were plenty of special moments along the way.

We’re incredibly grateful to our Presenting Sponsor, , and all of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, vendors, and community partners who helped make this year’s tournament such a success.

The perfect activity for a rainy afternoon!

Our Carroll County Community Development Services crew recently joined Ms. Nancy at Exploration Commons for a hands on cooking class, where they made Italian Wedding Soup from scratch!

Everyone got involved, taking turns making meatballs, dicing ingredients, stirring everything together, and, of course, enjoying all the delicious smells along the way. 😋

The best part? Sitting down together and enjoying the finished product on a rainy day!
A big thank you to Ms. Nancy and Exploration Commons for another fun afternoon with our crew! 💙💛

One month could never capture how much our DSPs mean to Bello Machre. 💛

Throughout September, we celebrated the incredible people who bring our mission to life each and every day. Through their dedication, compassion, and commitment, our DSPs help provide a lifetime of loving care and the opportunity for the people we support to love and be loved.

While DSP Month may have come to an end, our appreciation certainly hasn’t. Members of our team wanted to share a few words about what makes our DSPs so special and the difference they make every day.

To all of our DSPs, thank you for everything you do, not just during DSP Month, but all year long! 💛
