Lend a helping hand. 🤝

The Center for Independent Living in Central Florida (CIL) provides Lakelanders the tools they need to feel supported + included in the community. To help support their mission locally, they recently added a new Lakeland office (2025 Crystal Wood Dr., second floor) to continue breaking down barriers.

CIL provides a wide range of services, including:

  • Home modifications (wheelchair ramps, door widenings, ADA toilets, and grab bars)
  • Medical equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, and shower chairs)
  • Assisting with employment, including transitioning young adults with disabilities into the working world
