Joyful Celebrations Supports Matthew's House

We are happy to announce that Joyful Celebrations has chosen a local charity that supports familes and children with disabilities who need respite from caring for children with disabilities.

About MATTHEW'S HOUSE:

A home away from home, Matthew's House will support up to five children at a time, providing a much-needed break for families. Children will be cared for in a state-of-the-art residence staffed by experienced caregivers. Medical necessities like overhead track systems for transferring and full wheelchair accessibility will be complimented by a beautiful aesthetic, a multi-sensory playroom and an outdoor playground. Overnight guest suites allow family to remain close while taking a restful step back to refuel themselves.

Matthew's House will be facilitated by Communitas Supportive Care Society, a local social service agency with a nearly 40-year record of providing quality care to individuals living with disabilities throughout British Columbia. Providing families with the support they need, Matthew's House is about caring for kids, a community encouraging one another, hospitality, compassion and joy. Matthew's House depends on the generosity of the community to meet its campaign goal of $4.2 million. Consider joining us in supporting BC families.
