LIFE Center Adult Day Services

BIG NEWS from the LIFE Center! 🎉

Our new wheelchair accessible van is officially here! This purchase brings us one step closer to being able to provide transportation to and from the LIFE Center for our participants — helping reduce barriers for families and increasing access to the support, engagement, and community our program provides.

We want to extend a HUGE thank you to Leadership Stillwater Class 34. Their incredible support and generosity made this purchase possible, and we truly could not have done it without them.

We also want to thank everyone who supported our recent Jamming for LIFE fundraiser, our generous sponsors and donors, the musicians who donated their time and talents, our volunteers, and every person who attended, shared, donated, or encouraged our mission along the way. This van represents what can happen when a community comes together to support one another.

Because of your support, we are moving closer to making our services more accessible for the participants and families we serve every day.

This is more than just a van — it is opportunity, accessibility, independence, and a reminder that we truly are doing LIFE together. ❤️

A special day filled with connection, laughter, and new friendships 💛
We took a trip to the park in Cushing to meet our pen pals from the Transition Academy Co-Op—and it was everything we hoped it would be. After getting to know each other through letters, it was so meaningful to finally meet face-to-face, share stories, and spend time together outdoors.

A little paint, a few brushes, and a whole lot of creativity 🌸🎨

We spent some time painting flowers, and each one turned out a little different—bright, colorful, and full of personality. It’s always fun to see how something simple can turn into something so meaningful.

Out exploring and enjoying something new 💛
Today we spent some time checking out The Hub—taking it all in, sharing some laughs, and just enjoying being out together. Sometimes it’s not about having a big plan… it’s just about being present, trying something different, and making memories along the way.

We had such a beautiful and meaningful Easter Service at the LIFE Center! 🌷✝️
A heartfelt thank you to Ashley from First Christian Church for sharing such a thoughtful and inspiring message with us. It truly made the day special. We also want to thank Charissa for her powerful Mary monologue—it was moving, memorable, and brought the Easter story to life in such a unique way.

Well… it finally happened—our microwave has officially called it quits. 😅

We use our microwave every single day to heat up food that participants bring from home. It may seem like a small thing, but it plays a big role in our daily routine!

We are currently in need of a new (or gently used) microwave. If you have one you’d be willing to donate or would like to help us purchase one, we would be so grateful. 💙

As always, thank you for supporting us and helping us continue to create a warm, welcoming place for those we serve.
