🎃 Spooktacular times at UCP-LI! 👻

On Friday, our Adult Services Program hosted its annual Halloween Parade around the building! Our staff and participants absolutely love Halloween, and everyone was decked out in some of the most creative, fun costumes you've ever seen. We also welcomed families to cheer us on and enjoy the parade.

But the fun didn't stop there—this year, Adult Services took things to a whole new level by building our very own Haunted House! 🕸️

This was a collaborative project from start to finish. The participants in each classroom brainstormed their own spooky themes, and then every single room designed and crafted their own homemade props in our Woodworking Club. Everyone got involved in hand-painting the pieces to bring their visions to life, while our staff worked right alongside them to tie it all together.

Watch the video to take a tour of our Haunted House and see all the highlights from our Halloween parade!

On Friday, The Children's Center at UCP-LI hosted its annual Trunk or Treat! This year's first-ever theme was "Books so good, it's scary." Our staff and families chose their favorite children's books and went all out decorating their trunks!

This tradition is so special to us because it ensures all of our kids have an accessible, welcoming environment to enjoy trick-or-treating. We are so grateful for this community and everyone who worked so hard to make it happen! 🧡

✨ Celebrating the "Light of Support": Congratulations to Jacquelyn, our 2026 National DSP Week Winner at Geery! ✨

At UCP-LI, our mission is powered by individuals who bring unconditional heart, dedication, and excellence to work every single day. Recently, our leadership team and staff came together for a very special celebration to recognize and honor Jacquelyn, a Direct Support Professional (DSP) at our Geery location.

In honor of 2026 National DSP Week, UCP-LI hosted a presentation with light refreshments to acknowledge Jacquelyn’s extraordinary service and present her as this year's "Light of Support" winner.

Jacquelyn was nominated by Geery House Manager, Deb, who highlighted her incredible 11-year legacy of dedication to the agency. With over a decade of service, Jacquelyn has demonstrated what it means to serve others. She cares for the house residents deeply, supporting them each and every day with unmatched patience and respect.

In the workplace, Jacquelyn is the teammate everyone wishes they had. You can count on her 100% of the time. She consistently brings positivity to the house, lifts up her colleagues, and embodies the definition of a team player.

The celebration was a moving moment for everyone in attendance. Overwhelmed with emotion, Jacquelyn shared a beautiful reminder of why the work of a DSP is so vital:

"I love being a DSP, it is a part of who I am. I enjoy helping others and experiencing the joy of making someone else happy. I love what I do, and I enjoy it to the fullest. I find great fulfillment in meeting my residents' needs—they have become a huge part of my life. As a DSP, I will always go the extra mile because it makes a real difference in their life."

Jacquelyn, you are a deeply valued member of the UCP-LI family. Your commitment to going the extra mile doesn't just meet needs—it builds a home and community for the individuals we serve.
