🎉 Introducing our NEW logo!
We are so excited to share this fresh new look for Charles Lea Center as we step into an exciting new chapter together. Our updated logo represents growth, innovation, inclusion, and possibility and reflects who we are today and where we’re headed as an organization.
While our look has evolved, one thing remains unchanged: our deep commitment to the people we support, their families, and our communities. This new look carries the same heart, mission, and purpose that have guided us for more than 60 years.
We can’t wait for you to see what’s next as we continue moving forward together. 💚💙🧡

It wouldn’t be the holidays without the annual CLC Christmas card! 🎄✨
Each year, our good-sport CEO, Jerry Bernard, gladly takes the spotlight - proving that holiday cheer pairs perfectly with a great sense of humor. We love having a little fun with this tradition, and we couldn’t do it without the creativity of Ali Rogers at Action Printing, who brought our vision to life.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us! 💚🎅💚

💚 Community is stronger when we serve together.
A group of individuals from the Charles Lea Center recently volunteered at FoodShare Spartanburg, helping support our neighbors and give back to the community we love and call home.
This season reminds us how important it is to come together, share kindness, and make a difference wherever we can. We’re so proud of our team for living out the spirit of service and community every day. ✨

At the Charles Lea Center, our Case Management Department proudly supports more than 1,300 individuals across the Upstate of South Carolina, most of whom live in their communities alongside their families. Caring for a loved one with differing support needs can be challenging, and for many of the people we support, the holidays would look very different without the kindness of others.
That’s why the Charles Lea Center Angel Tree is so special. Each year, the Angel Tree supports individuals receiving Case Management services who need a little extra help during the holiday season. This year, our Angel Tree is helping to bring joy to 96 individuals through the gift of thoughtful, meaningful presents.
Because of the incredible generosity of our CLC staff, community members, and the Charles Lea Center Foundation, we were able to share the true magic of Christmas, one act of kindness at a time. Thank you! 💚💚💚

Who needs warm weather to have a great Holiday Walk? 🎅🎶 Not us!
Cooler temperatures brought us inside, but the joy and energy were stronger than ever! 🎄💫
Our WeCare Health & Wellness Clinic hosted the celebration in the gym where our day programs enjoyed yummy (& healthy) treats, gveaways (for receiving services and staff) and walked through the halls of the CLC.
We kept our bodies moving and filled the space with holiday cheer! ✨

🎳 STRIKE!
Individuals who receive services at the Charles Lea Center recently had an amazing time participating in bowling at the Special Olympics!
Their smiles were big, their spirits were high, and their scores were pretty impressive too! 😄👏
We are so proud of their hard work, incredible sportsmanship, and the joy they brought to the lanes. Moments like these remind us why inclusion, opportunity, and community matter so much. And we also need to give a shout out to our dedicated staff who make sure it all happens. 💚
Congratulations to all our bowlers … you did GREAT! 🎉🎳

We had an absolute blast spreading Christmas cheer Friday morning at the Gettys D. Broome High School Senior Citizens Christmas Concert! 🎄✨
What a joyful and festive good time! Our crew hit the stage with all the energy and sparkle of the season, and we were right there cheering them on every step of the way as they performed the Twelve Days of Christmas! Their bright smiles said it all and it was truly a magical experience we’ll cherish.
A big, heartfelt THANK YOU to Broome High School and Spartanburg School District 3 for inviting us to be part of such a special celebration. Your kindness and holiday spirit mean the world! 💚
