Together, we are building a community where people of all abilities share life.
We need your support! Your tax-deductible donation makes it possible for hundreds of people with and without disabilities to experience belonging and friendship. Over 70% of our financial support comes from the generosity of individual donors.
Thanks to the generous donations and partnership from our community we are able to:
Host 400+ people with and without disabilities in our weekly programs
Serve healthy meals to 50-60 people each day at the Reality Center
Offer supportive housing for 24 friends with and without disabilities in our corner house and friendship houses
Serve lunch to 550 members of the wider community at the Reality Cafe
