As DSP Recognition Week comes to a close, our appreciation for our incredible DSPs continues all year long. 💙

Our Direct Support Professionals are the backbone of CARC and the heart behind so much of what we do. We loved celebrating them this week with a special luncheon, Music Bingeaux, cash prizes and, best of all, lots of laughs and smiles!

To every CARC DSP, thank you for showing up, caring deeply and making a difference every single day. We love and appreciate you more than you know! 💙

Our participants had such a wonderful time this week reading, getting creative with crafts, playing games, learning about all the services the library has to offer, and even opening their very own library cards! 📖✨

A huge THANK YOU to the Calcasieu Parish Public Library for partnering with CARC to create such a welcoming, inclusive, and fun experience. Partnerships like this open doors, create connections, and remind us just how special our community is.

It was a fantastic day with fantastic friends, and we're so grateful! 💙
