Firefly is officially open in St. Joseph, Missouri! 🎉

Last week, our team, community partners, and supporters celebrated the grand opening of our new office located at 902 Edmond St., Suite 204, with a ribbon-cutting hosted by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce.

This new location marks an exciting step forward as we continue connecting individuals with opportunities through our Employment Services.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone. We look forward to growing our community connections from our new home in downtown St. Joseph.

A sunny day and time by the water made for a wonderful outing for Firefly's Adult Day Program in Kansas City. 🎣

Eleven participants joined staff for a day of fishing and beautiful weather at Lake Jacomo. Whether it was casting a line, spending time by the water, or simply taking in the scenery, the day offered a chance to connect with nature and one another.

We want to thank Bass Pro Shops and Forty Woods Bait N' Tackle for donating fishing gear and bait, and the Missouri Dept. of Conservation for providing fishing permits. We're thankful to our sponsors for helping our participants enjoy a day of fishing, fresh air, and lasting memories together. 🌞
