COMMUNITY-BASED Services & Meaningful Day Programs In Anne Arundel & Carroll Counties, MD

Our Community-Based Program Builds Social, Vocational, And Employment Skills

Contact Our Meaningful Day Team

What Are Meaningful Day Services?

We believe that every person we serve should experience a meaningful day based on their needs and preferences. Our Meaningful Day Program provides access to Community-Based Integration (CBI). Under this program, we provide Community Development Services (CDS) and Employment Services. These services cater to adults with developmental disabilities ages 21 and above as well as elderly and seniors with developmental disabilities. Our focus is to enrich the lives of those we support through activities within the community that promote your loved one’s personal and/or professional growth.

49,530 – The number of community-based, Meaningful Day Services hours we provided last year.

Community-Based Services

Learn About Bello Machre’s Community Development Services (CDS)

Our Community Development Services (CDS) provide fulfilling day programs for adults with developmental disabilities through customized, community-based services. This includes social, recreational, and educational opportunities.

Our Community Development Services are staffed at a 1 to 4 staff to individual ratio. Transportation for our CDS day program is provided.

Here’s what a meaningful day might look like:

  • Typically Monday through Friday (no services on the weekend).
  • Pick up from home between 7:30-9 a.m.
  • Community-based activities and lunch between 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.
  • Drop off at home between 2-3 p.m.

Employment Services

Bello Machre helps adults with developmental disabilities find a meaningful career in their community. We provide job coaching, job development, on-site training and support , and employment opportunities.

  • We offer Employment Services Monday through Friday (including evenings and weekends). We do not offer overnight support.
  • Transportation to the workplace is provided via public transportation such as MTA Mobility (Anne Arundel County) and CTS (Carroll County). We help the people we support explore alternative options as necessary. We utilize services from DDA and assist individuals with learning public transportation options.
  • We provide temporary 1:1 job coaching as well as employment supports

Building Independence Through Community Volunteering with Meaningful Day Services

At Bello Machre, our Meaningful Day Program is dedicated to helping people with developmental disabilities give back through community volunteering. We believe that volunteering is not only a way to serve others—it’s also a powerful opportunity to build life skills, explore interests, and form meaningful community connections.

Our team works closely with individuals to find inclusive and rewarding volunteer opportunities throughout Maryland, helping them grow in confidence, independence, and purpose.
