We can and must do more..

The challenge facing our community is a long wait list for group living, day/employment supports and respite services in Waterloo Region. In Waterloo Region there are 526 adults in need of residential services, 573 adults waiting for employment and day support, 268 adults in need of respite services and over 765 children waiting for respite services. As a community of abundance, we all need to protect, support and empower those with disabilities.

We are seeking support from individuals and organizations in the community to meet this growing need. You can help us continue to fulfill our mission by giving a gift to the Parents for Community Living Robert Denomme Fund, which will be used to support capital expenditures or seed money for new programs or projects.
