UFCC Kick Off Event!

The University of Florida Campaign for Charities (UFCC) Kick Off Event was held this past Tuesday at the University of Florida. The UFCC is the annual employee giving campaign, and UF employees had the opportunity to engage with and learn about several charities serving our region.  After the UFCC Kick Off, the event transitioned to the Brown Center for Leadership and Service, Student Volunteer Network Fair. UF students were able to visit with the remaining charities and learned more about how they could connect with and support the organizations. Special thanks to Amy, Celine, and Sada for attending this event and representing the CIL!

New Bus Stop Located in Front of the CIL!

Beginning the month of October, there will be a bus stop right in front of the CIL Ocala office! Currently, the closest bus stop is located at the Marion County Health Department, about a half-mile away from the CIL office. This new stop will allow easier access to the Center for our consumers and will also help out other businesses in the area. We are so excited for October!
