Adam's Hope is a non-profit charity dedicated to helping families in the Quinte region affected by autism.

Community Support Services can help if you, or someone you care about, can't function independently because of a disability, illness or limitation due to aging. You can live at home in your own community, assisted by caring, friendly, professional staff and well-trained volunteers. OCSA is the voice of home and community support, representing hundreds of agencies, 25,000 staff and 100,000 volunteers across Ontario. Last year these volunteers donated over 2.5 million hours of service. We work with our members to ensure that issues which affect community services are heard and addressed by government policy makers, other health organizations, the media and the general public.

We provide information, education, support and advocacy for people with hearing loss in Contra Costa, Eastern Alameda and Southern Solano counties. Hearing loss affects all parts of your life; communicating with loved ones, colleagues and friends; going to the grocery store, pharmacy, doctors appointment; and entertainment and sporting events. We help each other learn how to live functional lives with a difficult disability.

"Our mission is to open the world of communication to people with hearing loss by providing information, education, support and advocacy."
