November is pie season, and time for our 2nd Annual Training & Engagement Holiday Bake Off! There were 5 categories of judging: Taste, Creativity, Teamwork, Participation, and Kitchen Safety Skills. Annie & Abby practiced their fine motor-skills and attention to dietary restrictions by dicing apples for their gluten-free apple pie, while Brittney closely followed a multi-step recipe to create a delicious blueberry lemon pie. Lastly, Dara got creative by independently adding an intricate lattice to her pumpkin pie. After much deliberation and only a few points separating each team, Brittney’s Blueberry Lemon Pie took the top spot! It was a fun opportunity to practice independent life skills and enjoy some delicious fall food together. Great job bakers, we're looking forward to the Cake Challenge next week!

Last Thursday, WBAL-TV 11 Baltimore visited Itineris to learn more about our new Thrive Box program for our residential clients!

Our free Thrive Box helps participants cook healthy, simple meals in their apartments and build new skills for greater independence in the kitchen. As Executive Director, Lauren Eaton states in the interview, “The pause in SNAP benefits has had a big impact on our residential program. About 50% of participants enrolled in SNAP have been directly affected.”

The status of SNAP benefits for individuals at Itineris Inc. remains uncertain this month, as fund disbursement depends on upcoming court decisions and the state’s rolling deposit schedule.

Our leadership team has been closely monitoring these and other government developments and preparing for potential changes that may affect the autistic adults we serve. Over the past year, both Federal and State adjustments to benefits have prompted us to seek creative, meaningful ways to continue supporting our community’s nutritional needs.

We are thrilled to share some good news: Thanks to the generosity of the Battye Foundation, Itineris launched our new "Thrive Box" program in October. Thrive Box provides our residential clients with access to fresh, healthy, and affordable meal kit services. Similar to programs like Blue Apron or HelloFresh, each Thrive Box includes an easy-to-follow recipe and all the ingredients needed for our clients to cook their meals independently in their home.

This initiative could not have come at a more critical time. As benefit changes continue to affect our community, programs like Thrive Box ensure that autistic adults continue to thrive with dignity and support.

We are proud to stand with our community, and we remain committed to fostering opportunities that nurture health, independence, and inclusion for every person we serve.

You can help. Please consider supporting autistic adults by donating to our Thrive Box program. Together, we can ensure that every individual we serve has access to nutritious meals and the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for your generosity.
