The Reena Foundation raises funds to help Reena improve the quality of life of people with developmental disabilities. When making a donation you can direct your gift to the General Fund where your gift will be used for priority projects. There are always urgent projects that arise without warning that require your support through the General Fund. You may also select a specific endowment fund for your donation.

Since 1973, Reena has been developing and providing community services for people who have a developmental disability. During that time, the agency has gained a well-deserved reputation for service innovation.
What makes Reena truly unique is the emphasis on providing Judaic programming and a Jewish environment for its clients, enabling them to develop spiritually and feel a connection and sense of belonging to their roots, culture and community.
Reena also encourages the expression of everyone's culture and religious roots, regardless of background or denomination.

set to open in Spring 2012

New Community Residence

Building is now well under way at the Joseph and Wolf Lebovic Jewish Community Campus in Vaughan. As a partner in UJA Federation's Tomorrow Campaign - Reena's vision is BIG.

Reena's new home represents a transformational model of support and inclusion because it is predicated on the idea of full integration, where constant interaction between those with and without disabilities is not a novelty, but the way life is.

The Reena Community Residence will house up to 84 residents with varying needs who will have easy access to all the facilities and programs the Lebovic Campus has to offer.

To bring the Reena Community Residence to life, the Reena Foundation has undertaken an $18 million capital campaign: The Reena Campaign, A Place for Everyone.*
*For information about the campaign, call The Reena Foundation at (905) 764-1081.

Trillium FoundationThe development of an integrated model of service delivery at the Residence is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
