Catholic Social Services’ Sign of Hope
Proud to make a difference in our community!
We’re proud to present a $5,514 donation to Catholic Social Services’ Sign of Hope, helping fund sensory therapy equipment for Agape East, Agape West, St. Christopher, St. Nicholas, and Zeno House.
Sensory therapy has been proven to help individuals with developmental disabilities calm and focus themselves. With this funding, residents will have access to personalized sensory tools designed to increase relaxation, reduce anxiety and agitation, and provide engaging activities. These facilities will also include dedicated spaces for play and relaxation, giving residents a safe environment to learn coping strategies.
The impact goes beyond the individual—these skills enable residents to actively participate in their communities and strengthen connections with their families.
The Kinsmen Club of Edmonton Community Initiative Grant is designed to support capital-based projects that create lasting impact. We’re committed to support initiatives like Sign of Hope, that promote inclusion, comfort, and growth, that benefit Edmonton and its surrounding communities.
