Sunbeam's Tis the Season auction.

We want to thank Steve Kidd Employee Benefits Consulting for supporting us as our auction sponsor. We also want to thank the many community organizations that despite these difficult times believed in the people that we support and provided items for the auction.

Living in a COVID world has been a challenge for many people and particularly for those we serve. Isolation impacted their ability to socialize with family & friends. In late August we were able to welcome back the first six participants to our Day Program. Modifications to both the way we present the programs as well as our physical space were necessary to ensure the safety of people served and compliance with MCCSS guidelines.

We also continue to work on building a robust virtual program for those that, for various reasons, cannot attend in person. It will also engage community members should another shutdown of any kind be necessary.

Funds raised from this auction will help to purchase supplies for both programs as well as enhancing the virtual program.

Everyone has the right to be part of an inclusive community, be valued for their abilities, and to be treated with dignity and respect.

We agree... & that is why for over 60 years Sunbeam has provided support to children, youth, & adults across Waterloo Region & South Central Ontario, living with Autism, developmental or physical disabilities.

We provide excellent, personalized residential living options, day programs, respite care, professional services, and other supports to those we serve and their families.

Our mission is to provide innovative opportunities that enable the people we support to reach their goals and achieve recognition of their value in the community. Our vision is to build inclusive communities where people of all abilities are valued.
