Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.

HCRS Foundation:

Highland Community Residential Services (HCRS) provides community-based residential supports to over 70 people dealing with an Intellectual Disability or Mental Health issue.  HCRS supports these persons in homes and apartments located throughout New Glasgow, Stellarton, Trenton and Westville.

HCRS established the Foundation in 1994 with bequests from A. C. MacLean and M. V. Jackson. The Foundation exists to support the capital activities of HCRS. Over the past several years the Foundation has funded the housing needs of people supported by HCRS. This includes buying or building houses to meet specific needs. 

The Foundation uses its funds to help HCRS acquire capital assets by providing down payments or by covering the full cost.  The Foundation funds groups that organize social events throughout the year, including a Christmas party, for persons with intellectual disabilities. The Foundation also supports a recreational summer activity program for children with intellectual disabilities.

The Foundation is a registered charity and is incorporated as a nonprofit society in the province of Nova Scotia. A volunteer Board of Directors governs the Foundation and it does not have any employees. The Foundation raises capital in part through an annual fund raising evening and auction.

Donations are tax deductible and can be made at HCRS, by cheque or by using the above link.
