A Community Safe Haven

03/16/2026

Beautiful job today Kate! Kari Lynn Auld she killed it!
Today, we were at Eat LOCO Brambleton. Our artist spotlight was Kate! She sold some art and got her face to the public. Those social skills we practice, she executed beautifully!

Fun fact: our artists make back full paychecks for the art they sell.

And because this is a family nonprofit, peep my daughter (Amiya 14yrs old) in the background. She shows up every market to help with no complaints.

We currently have a spot open for enrollment if anyone is in need. Www.communitysafehaven.com

Don’t forget about our give choose event on 3.24!
Early giving is currently going on.

Hello SPRING 🌺! At least the weather feels like it haha.
We are getting Leesburg Moose Lodge 1041 garden ready for a hearty spring harvest! One of our life skills units for the spring is growing what we eat/cook!

Begining in May, we will be ready to sell our seedlings at market too!

Today Claire Crook and Becky Mallory went to the Western Loudoun Social Collective for a networking event. Thank you for helping us spread our name around the community.

Check us out at the EAT LOCO BRAMBLETON farmers market! We will be there selling soaps, candles and artwork!

Today’s Word of the Day: SUNLIGHT! ☀️

Golly, we needed this today! A little sunshine is the perfect recharge.

We enjoyed art therapy outside, working on spring drawings for our beehive display, followed by a street safety walk in the fresh air. Hazel even got put to work doing a little pet therapy, which everyone loved! 🐾

Moments like these remind us how important community, fresh air, and creativity are for our participants.

Come visit us — we are always looking for volunteers!

FUN FRIDAY!!! 🎬🍿

Today we hopped over to the Regal Cinemas at Dulles Town Center to see Hopper!

Movie theaters can sometimes be very overstimulating environments, but our guys pushed through like absolute champs. We are so proud of them for practicing patience, flexibility, and coping skills while enjoying a fun community outing together!

Experiences like this help build confidence, independence, and social skills in real-world settings — and of course, they’re a lot of fun too!

We can’t wait for the next adventure!
