Proposed cuts to the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration budget could have serious consequences for the people and families who rely on these services.

Reductions to funding may impact dedicated hours, wages for self directed staff, and the flexibility individuals need to receive personalized support.

These services are not optional. They are essential for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live meaningful lives in their communities.

At Bay-CSS, we will continue to advocate for the resources needed to support individuals and families across Southern Maryland and Anne Arundel County.

Some days are about adventure.
Some days are about popcorn.

Recently, individuals supported by Bay-CSS enjoyed a movie day together complete with snacks, laughs, and a chance to relax and spend time with friends.

Activities like this may seem simple, but they create the moments that build friendships and community.

And let’s be honest… movie snacks are always a good idea.

Community support goes both ways.

Recently, individuals supported by Bay-CSS had the opportunity to help deliver meals through Meals on Wheels. It was a chance to connect with neighbors, lend a helping hand, and be part of something meaningful.

The people we support are not just receiving services. They are active members of their communities who contribute in important ways every day.

Moments like these remind us what community inclusion really looks like.

Staying active looks different for everyone and that is exactly what makes Spirit Club so special.

Spirit Club provides adaptive fitness opportunities designed for people of all abilities. Participants build strength, confidence, and friendships while having fun and supporting one another.

Programs like Spirit Club help promote health, independence, and community connection.

At Bay-CSS, we are proud to support opportunities that keep people moving and engaged.

Sometimes the simplest activities create the strongest connections.

During a recent activity, individuals and staff participated in a "string appreciation web." Each person held a piece of yarn and shared something they appreciated about someone else in the group. As the string passed from person to person, it created a beautiful web showing how connected we all are.

Moments like these remind us that community is built through kindness, encouragement, and recognizing the value in one another.

Bay Community Support Services is proud to have submitted written testimony to the Maryland General Assembly opposing the proposed cuts to the Developmental Disabilities Administration budget.

These proposed changes include reductions to dedicated hours, lowered self directed wages, and a $500,000 cap on individual budgets. In total, the cuts amount to $155.4 million in state funds and $310.8 million overall.

These are not just numbers.

For the individuals and families we serve across Southern Maryland and Anne Arundel County, these reductions would mean fewer flexible supports, fewer individualized options, and greater barriers for people with higher support needs.

They make it harder for people to live meaningful, independent lives in their own communities.

At Bay-CSS, we see every day what these services make possible — employment, independence, stability, and dignity. We also understand exactly what is at risk if these cuts move forward.

Strike up some fun! 🎳

Our Bay-CSS crew hit the lanes this week — and let’s just say, there were some serious skills on display.

From smooth rolls to creative technique (we respect the commitment!), the energy was high and the laughter was loud. Community outings like this are more than just fun — they build confidence, friendships, and social connection.

At Bay-CSS, community integration isn’t just something we talk about.

Yes, we bowl. 💪🎳

Warning: These smiles are contagious.

Our Bay-CSS clients had another unforgettable experience with Lucky and Blessed Fishing, diving into the world of wildlife and the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem.

There were antlers to examine, pelts to touch, coloring pages to fill with bright creativity — and plenty of laughter along the way. The best part? Everyone was included. Everyone participated. Everyone belonged.

Moments like this build confidence, spark curiosity, and remind us that learning doesn’t have to sit behind a desk.

At Bay-CSS, we believe experiences should be accessible, engaging, and joyful — and this one checked every box.

More of this, please.

Today we reflect on leadership — past and present — and the responsibility that comes with serving others.

At Bay-CSS, we believe leadership is not just about titles. It is about action. It is about advocating for those whose voices are often overlooked. It is about creating opportunities, removing barriers, and standing firm in the belief that every individual deserves dignity, access, and inclusion.

Presidents Day reminds us that progress happens when people are willing to step forward and serve something bigger than themselves.

We are proud to serve our community, to champion inclusion, and to continue building a future where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are seen, supported, and empowered.

Here’s to leadership that uplifts everyone.

❤️ We Love What We Do — and Who We Do It For ❤️

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating something special…

The laughter.
The friendships.
The partnerships.
The confidence built in moments big and small.

At Bay-CSS, love looks like inclusion.
It looks like community integration.
It looks like making sure every individual we support feels valued, seen, and empowered.

We are so grateful for our clients, families, staff, and community partners who make this mission possible every single day.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Bay-CSS — where belonging isn’t just a word, it’s what we build together. 💕

Good leadership pours into the people who pour into others.

Our Board President, Ike, recently surprised our DSP team with custom cups as a thank you for their hard work and dedication. Even better, he handed them out personally.

It was a small moment with a big message: You matter.

At Bay-CSS, our DSPs are the heart of everything we do. We are grateful for leadership that recognizes that and shows up in person to say it.

Now that is something worth celebrating.

We had antlers on the table… a beaver on display… and smiles everywhere.

Our Bay-CSS crew spent the day learning all about Maryland wildlife and the Chesapeake Bay Watershed alongside Lucky and Blessed Fishing, Inc. — and let’s just say, it was hands-on in the best way.

Clients got to:
🦌 Check out real antlers and skulls
🦫 Feel a beaver pelt
🎨 Color and create
📸 Take group photos
🙌 Ask questions and explore

You could see the excitement. The curiosity. The pride.

This is what community integration looks like when it’s done right — interactive, inclusive, and genuinely fun.

Huge thank you to Lucky and Blessed Fishing for making outdoor education accessible and engaging for the individuals we support.

Yes, we do amazing partnerships.
