Feeling connected makes all the difference.

Independent living is not just cooking and budgeting, it is also connection, confidence, and having a reason to leave the house.

This CoMoGives, your gift helps fund independent living skills classes at Services for Independent Living, including social art classes where people build community while building real life skills.

If you can give today, we would be grateful. CoMoGives ends Dec 31.

Independence isn't just a word to us at Services for Independent Living—it's a promise.

We support seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities across Mid-Missouri by connecting them to the tools and resources they need to live life on their own terms. From personal care services that empower daily living to durable medical equipment recycled at no cost, we make independence accessible.

Our team walks alongside you, providing peer support, advocacy, and transportation solutions tailored to your unique needs. We don't just offer services—we build community and confidence.

Here's what independence looks like with us:
• Access to affordable equipment and care
• Support navigating complex systems
• A network of 21 Centers for Living ready to assist
• Advocacy that fights for your rights

When you choose SIL, you're not just getting help—you're joining a community committed to empowerment and inclusion.

Ready to take the next step on your path to independence? We're here to help you move forward, every step of the way.

What does independence mean to you today?

Day after Christmas check in!

If you feel rested, I love that for you. If you feel emotionally microwaved, same.

At Services for Independent Living, we are back to work today, making sure people with disabilities have the support and equipment they need to live independently, not just in December, all year. But we are closed to the public to give some of our staff a break.

If you want to help in a way that actually matters

• Share this post so more people know we exist
• Ask your employer if they offer a matching gift program
• Make a gift through CoMoGives

Community support is what carries nonprofits through January, and we are grateful for it.

Your support changes lives in Mid-Missouri.

At Services for Independent Living, we empower seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities to live with independence and dignity. But we can't do it alone.

Here's how you can make a real impact:

$25 covers the cost of cleaning supplies and parts to refurbish donated medical equipment like wheelchairs, shower chairs, and walkers — turning community donations into life-changing resources for those who can’t afford them.

$50 provides materials and staff time for one Independent Living Skills session with youth preparing for life after graduation — teaching budgeting, cooking, and self-advocacy skills.

$100 funds two rides through our transportation program, helping people get to doctors’ appointments, jobs, or community events when no other options exist.

$250 supports our advocacy and outreach efforts — from printing educational materials to traveling to Jefferson City to protect the rights and services that low-income and disabled Missourians depend on.
