Supports CLH’s 24/7 lifetime care for adults with developmental disabilities living in Supported Living Homes located in Midland, Penetanguishene, Victoria Harbour, Port McNicoll and Waubaushene. Beyond providing safe, caring housing and healthcare, CLH ensures residents stay physically, mentally, and emotionally well.
Through fundraising efforts by the CLH Foundation, essential services that are often underfunded are supported, ensuring dignity, health, and connection for everyone involved.
Bridging the Gap assists members of the Supported Independent Living (SIL) program who face food insecurity and limited access to essentials due to low monthly income.
With generous donations, the initiative offers grocery top-ups, fresh food boxes, hands-on kitchen learning at the King St Hub, and an annual pantry restock, providing dignity, choice, and essential support beyond traditional funding.
The Foundation for Success assists individuals facing financial barriers and lack of other specialized funding by providing personalized support for essentials, health needs, inclusion, and skill building, filling the gap where no other help exists.
An example of its impact is funding pain management costs for a dental surgery, which were not covered by other funding sources.
CLH Developmental Support Services offers weekday programs that promote skill-building, physical activity, and social connection for individuals with developmental disabilities in North Simcoe.
CLH Foundation donors provide funds that support enhanced opportunities and special events like the Holiday Dinner & Dance, CLH Hockey Classic, Spring Fling, and Summer Fun Day, fostering joy and inclusion within the CLH community.
