Why Give?

As a private not for profit, Creating Alternatives is not a government funded agency. We are a traditional family centered atmosphere that caters our program to the needs of all of the individuals we service. Every program participant has a voice, and it responsible for the direction of their program.

By giving to the Creating Alternatives Day Program you help to alleviate the financial strain on families in our community by helping them attend a worthwhile day program. All of the proceeds raised through fundraising come back to the program to help develop different types of resources or programming options for our program participants.

Participants pay a fee for service based on the needs identified during their Intake Assessment. Most program participants are on wait lists for funding from the government that are allocated to priority individuals assessed on an emergency basis – when government funding isn’t available families pay out of pocket.

Families often work 40+ hour work weeks to support their household, and then come home to their adult children who might exhibit behavior challenges. Day programming provides temporary relief to families in need. In addition to day programming, families often pay for: additional care, residence, accessible transportation, modifying their homes to become accessible, special meals, extracurricular activities, behaviour support services, therapy, and more!

By supporting Creating Alternatives, you help us provide a vital quality service, and expand our programming so that we can help our community.

Don’t forget about us when you decide to give!
