Summary

Service Source and OSG updated the committee on holiday programming, referrals from DBHDS, social activities and local supports including utility‑bill assistance for SSI recipients and upcoming provider meetings with DMAS.

Service Source reported holiday parties across its locations and encouraged members to share event details.

"So I don't have a lot of updates, except to let you guys know that, we're really excited about the holidays that are coming up," Amanda from Service Source said, describing holiday sales and parties at site locations.

OSG described recent fundraising and referrals, volunteer activities with a group home, and the Arlington separate club meeting that can draw dozens of participants. Vendor representatives also described benefits assistance for SSI recipients (a $500 annual utility benefit via utility partners) and urged that staff circulate resource links in the meeting minutes. Vendors and committee members said a DMAS meeting is planned to explore barriers to becoming Medicaid providers and to support community groups seeking vendor status.

The committee asked vendors to provide links and contact details for minutes distribution and to identify subject‑matter experts to join transition and provider meetings.
