At Living Resources, our days are filled with purpose, but some moments stand out as a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. Recently, our Rockland Day Community Opportunities Program (DCOP) hosted a "Bingo Madness" afternoon that was about much more than just calling out numbers, it was a celebration of community and the power of peer support.
The excitement began long before the first bingo card was marked. Individuals in the program started their morning with a sense of mission, volunteering their time with Meals on Wheels. After giving back to the community, they headed into a sensory music therapy session, which provided a perfect blend of engagement and relaxation to transition into the afternoon.
To cap off a busy day, staff transformed the space into a relaxing, lounge-style environment. The atmosphere was set with refreshing treats and a relaxed vibe.
While the prizes were a hit, the real highlight of the day was witnessing the bond between two individuals, Michael and Sara. Known to everyone as being "thick as thieves," these two best friends showed us exactly what kindness looks like in action.
Because bingo can get fast-paced, Sara sometimes needs a little extra time to find the numbers on her card. Without being asked, Michael stepped in to support his friend. He patiently helped her keep up with the caller, ensuring she didn’t miss a single winning square. The result? Thanks to their incredible teamwork, both Michael and Sara took home prizes! But more importantly, they walked away with the joy of succeeding together.
Moments like these are the heartbeat of Living Resources. Seeing Michael offer his patience and encouragement to Sara reminds us that while our staff provides the framework, the genuine friendships formed between the individuals we support are what truly make our program a community.
Kindness isn't just a concept here; it’s something we see in the smiles, the shared prizes, and the way we look out for one another every single day.
