Learn More »Many of the adults under the care of Lakeshore Community Services have no support or family to help them, outside of our programs. COVID-19 has presented a terrible barrier to reach out to those we serve. Being able to interact with a mental health provider could mean life or death for someone with mental illness who suffers from depression and anxiety. Your donation will help us provide them with the ongoing supportive services they need to maintain their medications, their recovery plans, and their quality of life. Please consider a donation today.
