Global Community Engagement Day celebrates the power of connection, collaboration, and meaningful participation in our communities. One of the ways we experience that spirit at CSS is by getting out into the community together and making memories.

Last year, some of us joined the fun at GreenFest in Montgomery County, exploring booths, enjoying activities, and sharing the excitement of learning about sustainability and community resources. These outings are more than just events. They are great opportunities for connection, learning, and being part of something bigger.

We are grateful for moments like these where people can engage with their community, try new things, and support one another along the way.

Today is National Plan for Vacation Day, a day that encourages us to start dreaming, planning, and getting excited about future trips and experiences.

Whether it’s choosing a destination, thinking about activities, or simply imagining time away, planning a vacation can be just as joyful as the trip itself!

At CSS, many individuals are already looking forward to our annual trip to Ocean City. From beach walks and boardwalk rides to shared meals and laughter, these trips create lasting memories and give everyone something special to look forward to.

Pictured here is a moment from a past Ocean City trip, where the excitement, connection, and fun were already in full swing. We love seeing the smiles, friendships, and sense of adventure that come with traveling together!

What’s one thing you’re most excited about when planning a vacation? The destination, the activities, or the time spent together?

Global Community Engagement Day is a time to recognize the importance of building strong, connected communities and encouraging people to come together through shared experiences, collaboration, and support.

At CSS, community engagement shows up in meaningful, everyday moments like this. Volunteers, staff, and the individuals we support working side by side, learning from one another, and creating together during activities like Craft Day. These moments remind us that community is built through relationships, patience, and showing up for one another.

Whether it’s a craft activity, a shared conversation, or simply lending a helping hand, these connections help create a welcoming space where everyone feels included and valued. We are grateful for the families, volunteers, and staff who help strengthen our community each day.

What does community mean to you? We’d love to hear how you stay connected!

❄️ Snow is on the way! ❄️

With a historic snowstorm expected across the DMV this weekend, we are reminding everyone to stay safe, warm, and prepared. Snow days can be fun, but they also come with extra challenges, so it is important to take precautions.

At CSS, we encourage everyone to:

- Dress warmly and wear proper footwear

- Be careful of icy sidewalks and steps

- Stay indoors when possible and avoid unnecessary travel

- Check in on one another and offer support when needed

Snowy days can also be a time to slow down, enjoy something cozy, and find a little joy indoors!

What is your favorite way to spend a snow day? A warm drink, watching a movie, or something else? Share with us below!

Today is National Grandma Day!

National Grandma Day is a special day to celebrate grandmothers, the wisdom they share, and the love they bring into our lives. Grandmas often make space for laughter, comfort, stories of the past, and reminders that family comes in many forms.

At CSS, family means support, care, and connection. Some of the individuals we support have shared memories of time spent with their grandmothers, lessons they learned, or traditions that feel like home. Whether it’s the warm smell of freshly baked cookies, advice that stuck with you, or simply being there to listen, grandmothers bring joy and love in so many ways.

Today is International Day of Acceptance!

International Day of Acceptance is a day to honor people of all abilities and celebrate the value each person brings to our world. It is about creating communities where everyone feels respected, supported, and a true part of the whole.

At CSS, inclusion is at the heart of what we do. We believe that everyone deserves opportunities to learn, grow, and feel a sense of belonging. Acceptance is not only about acknowledging differences. It is about welcoming and uplifting one another in ways that reflect dignity, respect, and care.

Together, we encourage listening, learning, and understanding, while building a community where every voice is heard and every person matters.

What does acceptance mean to you, and how can we support one another in practicing it each day?

Today is a day to reflect on the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision of a more just, compassionate, and inclusive world.

At CSS, we believe that community is built through respect, understanding, and care for one another. Dr. King reminded us that meaningful change begins with how we treat people every day by listening, showing kindness, and standing up for dignity and belonging.

We strive to carry these values forward by creating spaces where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and respected, and where differences are seen as strengths that bring us closer together.

What is one value or message from Dr. King that continues to inspire you today?

Today is National Religious Freedom Day!

National Religious Freedom Day recognizes the importance of respecting and honoring each person’s beliefs and traditions. At CSS, one of our core values is inclusion. To us, that means creating a space where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and supported in what matters most to them.

Recently, our community came together to celebrate Hanukkah, sharing time, traditions, and joy. Moments like these remind us how meaningful it is to learn from one another and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community.

Religious freedom is about dignity, understanding, and respect. We are proud to foster an environment where differences are embraced and everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Today is National Hat Day!

Hats are more than just a fun accessory. They help keep us warm during the colder months, protect our skin, and let us show off our personal style. At CSS, we believe in individualization, and hats are a great way for people to express who they are.

Pictured here is Edward, wearing one of his favorite hats during our recent Hanukkah Party. We love seeing individuals show off what makes them feel confident and comfortable.

National Hat Day also reminds us of the creativity within our community. Through our Stitch by Stitch program, some individuals hand stitch hats and scarves that are sold at certain events. Our crafters take great pride in their work and love knowing their creations are appreciated. Each crafter also receives the profits from every item they make and sell, making it an empowering and meaningful experience.

We will be sure to share when the next event is coming up for anyone interested in purchasing a handmade item!

Tell us, what is your favorite type of hat? Feel free to comment below and share a photo of you wearing it if you would like!

Today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day, and it brought plenty of smiles our way.

Many of us here at CSS have pets at home who have truly become cherished members of our families. They bring comfort, companionship, and joy into our everyday lives, often in the simplest ways.

At CSS, one of our core values is individualization, and dressing up our pets is a fun way to celebrate that. Whether it’s a cozy sweater, a playful costume, or letting their personality shine just as they are, it’s all about honoring what makes each one unique.

Do you have a pet at home? We’d love to see them! Share a photo or tell us their name in the comments below.

Today is a reminder that dreams matter, no matter how big or small. Whether it is something you are working toward, something you hope to try one day, or something that already brings you joy, making dreams come true starts with believing in yourself and taking steps forward.

At CSS, we are proud to support individuals as they work toward their goals and celebrate milestones along the way. We love seeing individuals do well in school and pursue their educational dreams. Pictured here is Christian, who made one of his dreams come true by excelling in school and receiving his certificate last year. We are so inspired and proud of you!

Every achievement looks different, and each one deserves to be recognized. Moments like this remind us that growth, effort, and determination are always worth celebrating.
