Kristen is a poet, writer, and champion of disability advocacy. Star supported her in obtaining her self-described "dream job" at Plant the Seeds of Maryland Home Care, where she works as an Office Assistant. On top of providing input for their first newsletter, Kristen fills a unique role at Plant the Seeds by writing poems for their clients. Kristen says the role is, "A dream job, because I’ve been allowed to use my interests, hobbies and passions to help staff and residents." Congratulations, Kristen!

These two ladies had a special delivery from the team at Home Depot Location 6760, which is a Distribution Center right here in Hagerstown. We’ve been partnering with Home Depot since 2025 when they hired a person we support, and they’ve since found even more ways to support our mission, including by donating sensory toys to our Sensory Shed. The Home Depot team poured immense love and consideration into this project, as they created all of the items themselves! We now have colorful bottles with fun objects and glitter, 3D-printed sensory cubes, and ribbon rings for the public to explore in our Sensory Shed. Plus, they donated additional supplies for people supported to make additional arts and crafts. Our mission wouldn’t be possible without partners like Home Depot! Thank you for providing an accessible activity that benefits our entire community!
