The Richmond Centre for Disability (RCD) provides direct services to persons with disabilities. Our existence is made possible by the generous support of people like you.
Every year, RCD serves on average 30,000 people with disabilities, provides over 50,000 service hours and offers 1,200 skills training classes and over 350 recreational activity sessions. We have a specialized summer camp for children with special needs, several peer support groups such as Chinese Support Group, Filipino Parents Group and Mom’s Club. It is our goal to expand our services and participant base through reaching a broader cross section of the society.
The Richmond Centre for Disability thanks you for your participation, contribution, time and generosity.
RCD Special Request - 2024 RCD fundraising initiatives are particularly important to us. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we urgently need to relocate our center temporarily to ensure the continued delivery of our essential programs and services, in June 2024. Despite the move has been completed by now, the escalation in contruction costs, and materials and supplies costs have increased tremendously due to inflation. This has led to a significant financial burden to sustain and increase in the support we provide to our participants, who rely on us for a wide range of services, including information and referral, skills development, peer support, and community engagement. We continue to seek your generous contribution to support the works fo the RCD, and thank you in advance for your kind consideration. Your contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated and will help us reach our financial sustaibility.
