Donations



In today's society, the vitality of compassion, giving, and community is stronger than ever. Depleting resources, budget constraints, and increased cost of living makes our journey to provide innovative and successful programs to individuals with special needs and their families is increasingly more difficult. As a not-for-profit organization and a registered charity, we at Main Street Community Services rely on the generosity of organizations, communities, corporations, foundations, and individuals for the survival of our programs. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to you for your generosity, support, and embracing the community spirit throughout the years!
