July has been a fantastic month for our residents, filled with fun and engaging activities that have brought folks together with their housemates as well as across residential homes. Some recent activities include:

• The guys at Cedar Grove gardening together (read the full story here) and enjoying 7/11 Free Slurpee Day
• The Bloomfield residents celebrating the Fourth of July with a back-porch barbecue that welcomed residents from other group homes, as well as a trip to Dave & Buster’s
• The gentlemen at the Beechtree group home attending a church carnival together
• The Verona Apartments residents taking an adventurous trip to Dorney Park
• The Oakwood Group Home residents enjoying a lovely summer day at a local park in Livingston
