On October 24, The Arc Baltimoreās Leadership Institute group spent the afternoon at Genesee Valley for a team-building retreat. The day began with activities to find common ground, uncovering shared experiences that strengthened connection and belonging. Working together to cross an elevated platform tested their trust and teamwork, while a walk through the woods encouraged reflection and conversation.
A blind maze challenged participants to rely on their other senses, highlighting the trust and vulnerability essential to collaborationāmuch like the trust the people they support place in them every day. The day concluded with reflections on the unique strengths each member brings to the organization. It was a meaningful experience that deepened connections and reinforced the power of teamwork.

A continued government shutdown puts the food security of millions at risk. Starting November 1, benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and WIC may not be delivered.
This would be devastating for the households that rely on these programs most, including:
-People with disabilities
-Parents with children
-Older adults
They could be forced to choose between groceries, rent, and medicine for several weeks.
Millions of people with disabilities, like Sam, rely on food assistance to get by. But right now, that help is at risk. No one should have to choose between food, medicine, rent, or heat. Tell Congress to act now to prevent people from going hungry: https://bit.ly/4huQXn0
