At Dufferin Child and Family Services (DCAFS), we are dedicated to empowering the children, youth, and adults of Dufferin County through vital mental health, well-being, and developmental supports.

However, the journey towards healing and growth often requires more than the foundational funding we receive.

And on GIVING TUESDAY, that’s where you come in!

We are reaching out to our community, asking for your invaluable support to fill the gaps that exist in our services.

The Dufferin Child and Family Foundation (DCAFF) plays a crucial role in raising funds specifically aimed at enhancing the quality of life for our community.

Your contributions through DCAFF will directly impact the lives of vulnerable children, youth, adults, caregivers, and families, allowing us to provide essential resources and programs that go beyond our core offerings.

With your help, we can ensure that everyone has access to the support they need to thrive. We invite you to join us in our mission, as together we can create a brighter future for the families in our Dufferin community.

Thank you for your continued support!

THE GIFT OF LEARNING!

The Early Learners Group (ELG) has proven to be a remarkable stepping stone for a young child with exceptional needs, who has gained big strides in their ability to engage with peers and participate in group activities! With a fundraising investment of $2,340 the benefits are profound: the child is now adept at following simple instructions and actively staying engaged during various classroom activities which are big achievements.

The family has noticed a significant boost in verbal communication skills, which empower the child to express their needs effectively. ELG is not just a therapy program; it’s a nurturing environment where these vital skills are developed, paving the way for greater independence both in school and within our community.

The journey of growth is exciting, and with continued practice – and the support of our generous donors – the sky’s the limit for this young learner!

THE GIFT OF LAUNCHING A CAREER!

With $2,000 worth of donations used to purchase essential workshop tools, a dedicated youth has been able to participate in an Auto Mechanic Apprenticeship. This crucial support directly equips them for success in their demanding program.

We’re incredibly proud to share that this remarkable young adult is now well into their third year of the apprenticeship, demonstrating exceptional commitment and skill.

The hard work has paid off tremendously, as this youth has recently secured a position at a local car dealership!

This exciting milestone not only marks a significant step in their professional journey but also highlights the profound impact of our community fundraising efforts on fostering promising careers.
