We are going into our second season of collaborating with Mount Mary for cooking classes with their dietetic students. We ask that you sign up or remove yourself from a sign up at least 3 days prior as this event does involved driving participants which is an added layer of coordinating. We typically meet at the former Mercantile, drive to Mount Mary with participants, cook our meal, eat our meal together potluck style, and then return back to the Mercantile. Participants let their rides know when they are 30 minutes away.

Cost of program: Free.

Blossom IDD–Cultivation Crew

Blossom IDD is looking at starting a new program: our Cultivation Crew. We have found that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at a high rate for comorbidity health issues. For this reason, along with our holistically fulfilled lifestyle philosophy, we wanted to do something to work towards creating healthier lifestyles for our participants–mind, body, and whole being.

This program is a good fit for:

Individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability.
Independent with self-care skills (toileting, dressing, bathing, eating).
- For this program, we welcome individuals who are not independent with these self-care skills if they are accompanied by someone who is able to support them with this need.
Able to socially and behaviorally manage themselves within a group setting with minor prompting.
- For this program, we welcome individuals who are not independent with these behaviors or social skills if they are accompanied by someone who is able to support them with this need.
Looking for more social opportunities independently from their families and with more same aged peers.
Individuals with IDD who are looking for both creative and social outlets within the community.
The ages of 18+.
