At Therapeutic Living and Learning Centers (TLC), transformation has been at the heart of everything we’ve done in 2024. As a community-focused, person-centered organization, we believe in the value of each individual and the philosophy that every participant can reach their full potential. This year, we’ve seen that belief come to life through the incredible success of our Creative Arts Program (CAP), which continues to unlock the talents of those we serve.
Looking ahead to 2025, we are ready to bring even more transformation to CAP with exciting improvements. Our goal is to upgrade our creative spaces to meet the highest standards of accessibility and safety, ensuring all participants can take part with dignity and ease. These are multimillion-dollar upgrades that will make the space fully accessible to current TLC participants and allow the community to grow.
Imagine upgrades like accessible classrooms with ramps, custom-fitted sinks and stoves, wheelchair-friendly pottery wheels, state-of-the-art exercise equipment, and spaces designed for community connection, the renovated CAP Center will become a place where everyone can thrive.
Your support can ensure our music, ceramics, culinary arts, exercise, and physical therapy rooms—along with restrooms—are upgraded for safer accessibility. As we close out 2024, please consider donating to TLC and help us be the change that transforms our community. Together, we can create a space that accommodates more participants, fosters creativity, independence, and confidence, and inspires joy.
With gratitude,
Bonnie Schlachte
Executive Director, TLC
