Elves wished to extend its gratitude to MAZON Canada for providing $2,000 toward our Basic Shelf Program, which teaches families the basics of planning and preparing nutritious, cost-effective meals.
MAZON Canada raises funds, primarily within the Jewish community, and grants those funds to Canadian organizations battling hunger on the front lines, Thank you MAZON Canada for your continued generosity!

The end of January will mark 1 year at Elves for my boy and last year at this time he was virtually non-verbal and now 1 year later he is talking in short sentences, I am amazed at how far he he came after 4 months and now almost 1 year. The staff are truly amazing and so supportive. I am going through some challenges with him right now regarding behavior and the support from the school has been more than I could ever dreamed.
