ILS Holiday Parties

Posted on by

Facilitating Independent Living Skills (ILS) events is a key part of fostering this growth, helping our consumers gain the confidence and tools they need to live more independently while also building lasting connections with their community.

At the CIL, we believe that “Empowerment is not just about independence—it’s about creating moments of connection, joy, and growth.”

CIL Gainesville and Ocala hosted festive ILS Holiday Parties, where consumers wrapped handmade crafts, added colorful tags, and prepared thoughtful gifts. 🎁 We enjoyed pizza, decorated holiday cookies, and shared the excitement of the season together. 

These events go beyond the fun and creativity—they play a vital role in teaching independence while also building lasting memories and connections. We’re so proud of our ILS participants and the skills they are developing!
