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.
