About LIFE Services

CFI’s adult day services program, LIFE (Leisure, Inclusion, Fun and Employment), offers a range of experiences that help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn life skills, receive social engagement and become an active part of their community. The produce you’ll enjoy is part of our Farm2Table program, where clients are immersed in the entire process – planting, growing, harvesting and delivering – to community partners like Braise.

Why Braise?

Braise shares our commitment to community, sustainability and the power of local food. Their dedication to from-scratch cooking and locally sourced ingredients makes them an ideal partner for showcasing the harvest our clients work hard to grow. Together, we’re creating a dining experience that celebrates both exceptional food and the people behind it.
