What does independence look like? It looks like a first paycheck, a new friendship, and a community where everyone belongs.

At Community Support Services of Missouri, we are proud to serve over 1,300 individuals with developmental disabilities across Southwest Missouri. As we look toward a new year of Making Opportunities Happen, we invite you to see exactly how your support changes lives. From early childhood to adulthood, CSS provides the tools for individuals with developmental disabilities to live with joy and purpose.
