Caring Communities is a small, yet
growing, non-profit 501(c)3 organization based in Eldersburg, Maryland, which
began in February of 1997 when a group of parents of children who had
disabilities met to address the need for comprehensive respite care services
and the lack of trained respite care providers in Maryland. Caring Communities
has now grown into a well-known and widely respected organization offering
disability-related activities, publications and events for thousands within the
entire disabilities community in Maryland. Your sponsorship, donations or
participation in our events will assist us in continuing to produce the Expos,
publish our magazine and plan other activities that promote our mission.
