TODAY is Giving Tuesday!

Even with the government opening up, we are still facing financial burdens. The impact of the tariffs has led to higher costs for groceries, energy consumption, and any materials needed for the upkeep of our houses. We know you're experiencing these increased costs as well. We understand if you cannot give this Giving Tuesday, but please check out the other ways to be involved. Any form of support makes a difference!

Visit www.GardenCenterServices.org to DONATE.
THANK YOU!

Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday! ❤

Giving Tuesday is a global movement unleashing the power of radical generosity by supporting the causes we care about. This is a great opportunity to uplift our mission of “Advancing lives of connection, contribution, and meaning for persons with developmental disabilities and the individuals that support them.”

THANK YOU for standing with GCS throughout these challenging times!

THANK YOU to everyone who generously supported us during the SNAP crisis. Whether you donated, sent us your well wishes, or shared our story with people you know - every single action made a difference. Because of you, we were able to continue to provide the quality nutritious meals our community needs. THANK YOU again for standing with us in these difficult times!

We urgently need your help! The recent federal budget shutdown has had devastating consequences for the individuals we serve and the dedicated staff who care for them. SNAP benefits - vital for food security - were abruptly halted. Meals provided to the people we serve are funded in large part by almost $12,000 in monthly SNAP support. With benefits frozen or slashed, our community is facing hunger.

Your donation today will help us:
Provide daily meals to adults with developmental disabilities in our care
Support staff families struggling to feed their children
Fund strategies to address this issue and any other cuts/limits to safety nets that may be coming.

Please give what you can. Every dollar makes a difference.
Together, we can ensure no one in our community goes hungry during this difficult time. Thank you for standing with us!

Garden Center Services is committed to supporting and empowering persons with developmental disabilities through innovative and person-centered services. Our commitment to the excellence of our programs is surpassed only by our devotion to the people we serve and the communities in which they live.....
