Summer 2020 

Your  <https://connectionsforindependentliving.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=00b0fdb83eb87a09235ce46e5&id=50770ff076&e=6484315f0b> Connections for Independent Living staff hopes that you are staying healthy and safe during this unique summer experience! Our team members have spoken with many of you by phone since the onset of COVID-19 to check on your safety and wellness and connect you with helpful resources. In fact, we've made more than 3,100 calls since March 23 to personally connect with members of the disabled community living in Weld, Yuma, Sedgwick, Washington, Morgan, Phillips, and Logan counties.

Throughout the COVID19 disruption your Connections team has remained fully staffed (in remote settings) and firmly focused on its commitment to support the disabled community. We've developed a multi-phase plan for allowing Connections participants and staff to return to our physical offices, and we encourage you to watch  <https://connectionsforindependentliving.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=00b0fdb83eb87a09235ce46e5&id=c454aa192c&e=6484315f0b> our Facebook page for updates. Our top priority remains the health and safety of team members and those we serve.
