🎉 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! 💚🎅💚
