Center of Family Love hosts annual block party for residents, community

OKARCHE - The Center of Family Love Teen Board members hosted their annual Backyard Block Party on March 25 at the Center of Family Love in Okarche. The Block Party is a celebration for the centers’ residents and is an event for the whole family. 

“The block party is my favorite event because I love to see the community coming together to raise money for our amazing charity, and I love the joy it brings the residents!” said CFL Teen Board President, Laney Liebl. “I love the Center of Family Love because it is an organization dedicated to giving the very best care and opportunities to the most genuine people in the world, true NexGen Heroes.” 

For more than 41 years, the Center of Family Love has been assisting their residents to conquer disabilities. The proceeds for the Block Party will benefit the 130 adults who call the Center of Family Love their home.

“Without the support of our community and friends we could not provide the 24-hour specialized care needed for our residents,” said CEO of the Center of Family Love, Debbie Espinosa. “This Block Party is an amazing outreach effort by our Teen Board members, and we are so touched by their dedication to help our residents.”

Center of Family Love’s mission is to provide quality lifetime care to individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. To learn more about the organization and their role in serving others through Christ visit, centeroffamilylove.org.
