What's it like to venture out to Wildwood for the day?

There's a drive full of anticipation, and then it is kind of a whirlwind of delight and nature! Does this feel right to anyone else?

[Not fully featured: the many many moments of connection, laughter, and togetherness we got to enjoy!]

Happy "National Dog Day" from Maybelle Center's resident office doggo, Mo!

No bones about it- there is no being who loves meeting people and spending time with friends more than him. He is an inspiration!

This is just a sneak peak of some of the beautiful moments captured at last week's Wildwood outing! Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for some time to connect with each other and the outdoors < 3

We'll have a full photo album up soon and we can't wait to mail out some images in our October Member & Volunteer Newsletter (so keep a look out!). 🖼😍💐

If you snapped some of your own photos you want to share, we'd love to include them in our collection! (Message them to us here or email Maybelle Center)

The Community Room is closed today because we are out at Wildwood! We'll be back at it Monday morning at 10:30 AM with fresh coffee and stories to tell from the trees.

In the meantime, check out this beautiful design for our 2026 Wildwood outing that our incredible volunteer, Cade Hoover, created for us!

It has arrived! Tomorrow is our daylong outing to enjoy time together, the greenery, and some fun outdoorsy activities (lookin' at you, picnic, lawn games, crafts, & games)!

If you RSVP'd, make sure you come down to the Community Room at 9 AM so we can get you check-in and enjoy a light breakfast together before we hop on our busses. We can't wait to spend the day with you!

We've been getting ready for weeks: Wildwood is almost here!

If you RSVP'd, we can't wait to spend the day together enjoying lunch, lawn games, activities, and the outdoors!

Friday, August 21st
Meet in the Community Room at 9 AM
We'll start with check-in and a light breakfast before we load onto busses for our daylong excursion!

(And while we are hoping for some animal sightings, I don't think they'll be quite as WILD as these safari creatures next week... But hey, we won't know until we go, right?)

Are you on OHP? Do you receive SNAP?
Unreasonable changes to qualification paperwork are coming (or are underway): you'll have to fill out forms every 6 months instead of every two years!

But Siggy LOVES paperwork. She'll sit with you to help move your benefits online so you can trash all the paper they send your way. Even if you don't have an email or know computers, she's got you.

Schedule a meeting with Siggy today to get your accounts in order and materials online—and say goodbye to all the paper mail they’ll send you and keep your benefits!!

What's something you look forward to each month?
At Maybelle Center we love our tradition of celebrating birthdays on the fourth Thursday of each month. Getting to spend joyful time together is so energizing and feels great!

How are people part of the big or small high lights of your month?
