Fundraising
Core funding covers essential needs but falls short of supporting many activities that enhance quality of life. Donations provide vital funding to cover additional necessities and community experiences.
Donations help provide:
- Food, clothing, footwear, hygiene products, medicines, cleaning supplies, furniture, and building maintenance
- Access to recreational facilities like pools, gyms, and arenas
- Tickets and travel for concerts, movies, sporting events, and community outings
- Outdoor adventures including hiking, kayaking, and skiing
Many individuals live on limited disability pensions and rely on this support to participate in everyday activities others may take for granted. Your generosity helps create these opportunities.
