Description

We sit down with new CEO Liz Holle to map how Big Lakes supports 175 adults with disabilities across four counties, where Medicaid ends, and community giving begins, and how smart tech expands independence without losing human touch. From vans to accessible bathrooms to a gingerbread-themed client party, we share how donors turn essentials into everyday dignity and joy.

• New leadership continuity and mission focus 
• Medicaid funding limits and budget realities 
• Annual giving campaign Big Improvement priorities 
• Statewide and internal waitlists and staffing constraints 
• Grow Green Match Day impact on vehicles and access 
• Community life through trips, errands, and events 
• Remote supports and safety technology adoption 
• Raise The Roof results and next facility upgrades
