Earlier this month, we had the privilege of welcoming 75 FSU students from the Center for Leadership & Service (@thecenterfsu) to Independence Landing where they volunteered their morning to help with campus beautification projects! Once finished, they rented out The Press Cafe (@thepresscafetlh) and hung out with our staff and residents. This was part of the week-long Service Leadership Seminar. (Rumor has it, our Executive Director, Barby, is also an alum of #SLS ๐)
Weโre so grateful for our continued partnership with @thecenterfsu and all the ways they pour love and care into our community. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every person who dedicated their time to making Independence Landing a more beautiful, vibrant place. ๐ก๐งผ๐

Friday Night Social Sponsor Shout-Out: Weโre so incredibly grateful to the Sketchley Law Firm (@sketchleytwyla) for sponsoring last weekโs Friday Night Social! The Sketchley Law Firm has dedicated over 20 years to serving the vulnerable and elderly populations of Tallahassee with the utmost compassion and care, prioritizing the dignity and peace of mind of each and every client.
Friday Night Socials are one of the most looked forward to events by our residents, giving them an opportunity to get out of the house and participate in meaningful conversations with peers, all while enjoying a great meal. Last Friday, Sketchley treated our residents to a delicious spaghetti dinner while they played games and connected with friendsโ both new and old.
We sincerely thank the Sketchley Law Firm for spending their Friday night with us. ๐๐

Supporting safe, affordable housing for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Tallahassee, Florida? Kinda chic. โจ
From idea to conception, Independence Landing would not exist today without the hundreds of individuals who rallied together for a brighter, more inclusive future. Because of you, there is no shortage of opportunity to be found within our community. Whether it be arts & crafts, arcade outings, or afternoons spent with friends, your continued support helps our residents create lifelong connections, expand outside of their comfort zones, and most importantly, lead independent lives.
So yeah, we think youโre kinda chic too. โจ๐๐
