Anne Arundel County is at a turning point – and the future of affordable housing starts with this conversation.

On May 7th, County Executive candidates will come together for a critical discussion on affordable housing and community development, hosted by the Anne Arundel Affordable Housing Coalition.

Jonathon Rondeau, our President & CEO, will moderate the panel—guiding a conversation on how we create communities that are inclusive, sustainable, and built for everyone.

Housing isn't just policy – it's the foundation for opportunity, stability, and connection.

Connection, exploration, and new opportunities all in one place. That's what the mall is all about.

We recently visited the Anne Arundel County Public Library at the mall for the first of two hands-on workshops designed to open doors to new resources and experiences.

During the sessions, we explored a wide range of free tools available through the library, including employment resources, foreign language learning, and streaming services for film and television. With Chromebooks provided by the library, everyone followed along in real time and built confidence navigating the library's digital offerings.

The experience wrapped up with library card registrations and a fun scavenger hunt, helping us get familiar with everything the space has to offer.

Moments like this are what community connection looks like: learning, exploring, and building independence together.

Fello was proud to sponsor the Talbot County Chamber of Commerce Best in Business Awards, celebrating the businesses and leaders who help shape and strengthen the Eastern Shore community.

During the event, we were honored to be recognized for our 65th anniversary. For 65 years, Fello has been part of building stronger, more inclusive communities, and moments like this are a reminder of the partnerships and shared commitment that make that work possible.

It was especially meaningful to celebrate alongside other organizations marking milestone anniversaries this year, each contributing to the vibrancy and future of our region.

Thank you to the Talbot Chamber for bringing the community together for such a special evening.

Together, we are Fello.

Nonprofits are often talked about for their impact. They should also be recognized for their economic power.

Across Maryland and beyond, nonprofits don't just provide services. They create jobs, generate economic activity, and strengthen local communities in meaningful and measurable ways.

As demand for services continues to grow and funding becomes more complex, it is time to fully recognize nonprofits as essential contributors to our economy, not just charitable organizations.

This recent Forbes piece explores why that shift in perspective matters now more than ever.

Stronger communities and stronger economies go hand in hand.

Nonprofits belong at the planning table—not as recipients of funding, but as strategic partners.

Our Children, Youth & Their Families program graduated another successful group of Anne Arundel County Public School students from the Project Learn Leadership Academy at Arundel High School yesterday! 🎉👏

Over the course of the week, students learned how to navigate their own IEPs, build their vision boards, and present their personal and professional goals. Now armed with these self-empowerment skills, they can advocate for themselves at their IEP meetings as they transition into adulthood.

Self-Directed Services puts people with disabilities in charge of their services and their lives. Participants in the program hire their own employees, set their own schedules, and have the independence and support they need to live the lives they choose for themselves.

In Episode 10 of the Fello Thinking Differently podcast, Marc Weinstein, Senior Director of Self-Directed Services at Fello, explores the flexibility and opportunities that self-direction offers while Lauren Sheeder, a participant in Fello's Self-Directed Services program, shares how the model has changed her life—and the life of her son.
