We are Open on Juneteenth.

Tomorrow, June 19th, we will be open and operating during our regular business hours.

We also want to take a moment to acknowledge the significance of Juneteenth: A day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, culture, and resilience.

We honor this important day in our nation’s history and encourage everyone to take time to reflect, learn, and celebrate its meaning.

Thank you for your continued support. 💛

🌊✨ Creative Coastal Fun! ✨🌊
Individuals worked in small groups alongside their staff to create beautiful decorative seaside bottles using recycled glass bottles. Everyone put in a lot of effort, showed great teamwork, and truly let their creativity shine!
The results were amazing—each piece was unique and full of personality. As always, we are so proud of the hard work and creativity shown by everyone involved! 💙
👏 Participants from OOA and DSO:
Britany, Brendan, Taylor, Jessica, Cathy, Donna, Tamieka, Rob K., Willie, Eli, Maya, Thomas, Daniel, Ian, Michael, Jeffery, and Laura
