https://dufferincommunityfoundation.ca/these-funds-will-he/ The donation funds that we received from Dufferin Community Foundation enabled our staff to recreate some of the programs that we lost due to the closure of our Options Leisure and Learning program. Options runs Monday-Friday supporting up to 50 people each week. With the technology we were able to purchase, each of our 13 residential homes virtually participated in the many new "programs" created by the Options sta...ff. This ability to engage with staff and friends in other homes was instrumental in supporting people through these challenging months. We were also able to create Boredom Buster Boxes full of craft supplies, games, puzzles and more. These boxes were rotated through all of the homes, and the artwork shared virtually with family and friends has lifted everyone's spirits. From all of us at CLD we thank the Dufferin Community Foundation committee for your support <3 See more
