IMPORTANT  INFORMATION

CLI & Firelands Local LLC  are
​Temporarily Closed

CLI & Firelands Local LLC are temporarily CLOSED as a response to COVID-19.  We would much rather work, so if we can help, please let us know how.

CLI has isolated activity hubs ready to use as soon as Ohio gives us permission to use them.  There is a lot of confusion about what Ohio wants day programs to do right now.  CLI’s priority is to keep everyone safe & healthy.

Firelands Local is ready to resume regular business operations asap too, but in the meantime we are following state recommendations to minimize contact.  Customers who need something during the next 2 weeks should contact General Manager James Johnson at 419-921-6400.

​So, for now CLI will NOT be operating its group day program at the workshop or community hubs.  However, CLI staff want to make sure that we do everything we can to support you and your family.  Please contact Jen Swicker at 419-706-6221 if we can help by sending someone to your home to help or if we just need to bring you supplies.  CLI has stocked up on toilet paper and disinfectant just so that we have it to share with people.

If you want CLI’s help in your home (or perhaps with a few other people in someone else’s home)-- or you need us to help you get emergency supplies-- please contact your SSA OR Jen Swicker at 419-706-6221 (or anyone at CLI - we’re all here to help).  We’re willing to help every day or once a week or whatever schedule you need. 

CLI has a limited number of staff, so scheduling will be done first come, first served.  
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) has created an information resource page:
​
​What Do Older Adults and People with Disabilities Need to Know About Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)?

​The page describes actions that everyone can take to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and all respiratory diseases, resources for inclusive emergency management, and links to the latest updates and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
