CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — With the Coastal Bend Day of Giving coming up Tuesday, one local organization is showing how community support helps adults with disabilities live more independently.
Choice Living Community provides vocational, life and social skills training for adults with developmental disabilities. The nonprofit’s programs are designed to help clients gain confidence and achieve personal goals at their own pace.
“We provide support and services with vocational, life and social skills development on an individual basis,” said Dr. Jenniffer Scott with Choice Living Community. “So, they can come and learn how to work, how to do their daily living skills, social skills and focus on mental health.”
The organization is among more than 60 nonprofits participating in this year’s Coastal Bend Day of Giving. With over $1.5 million in matching funds available, every dollar donated through the campaign will be doubled.
Organizers say that support goes directly toward programs like Choice Living’s, helping clients gain independence and strengthen their connection to the community.
