Chimes

Last week, our team from Chimes took part in Source America’s Grass Roots Advocacy Conference in Washington DC. People supported by Chimes were able to meet with congressional leaders and share their firsthand experience of the transformational impact employment through the AbilityOne program has for them. Thank you to Source America for this opportunity. We also appreciate all the representatives from Chimes, including our longtime team member, Tyrone Johns, for sharing their inspiring stories and insights as we advocate for more employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Celebrating 30 years of service – Carol Donahue has volunteered her time and talents at Chimes Delaware for more than 30 years! At our recent Delaware Advisory Council meeting, Chimes honored Carol for her contributions.

CELEBRATING OUR DSPS - Our leadership team treated our DSPs in Maryland to a home-cooked breakfast, some goodies and some cool giveaways earlier this week. We are grateful to have an amazing team of DSPs that make a difference in the lives of those we support each day! #DSPWeek

Today we take time to reflect on and honor the solemn significance of 9/11. We not only remember the lives tragically lost, we also extend our heartfelt gratitude to the heroes who selflessly serve our nation.

Chilling out with our DSPs! There's no better way to cool off on a warm early fall afternoon than with some frozen treats for our amazing DSPs in Maryland. We are planning special events to celebrate DSP week across the region. Stay tuned for more pictures and celebrations throughout the week! #DSPWeek
