Join an MDS program to connect with people who share your values of community and generosity.

We call our volunteers SMILE ANGELS because they allow us to dream BIG and expand our vision so that we can reach more children and families every year.

Make a donation.

Donations make it possible for us to come up with new charitable initiatives every year, which means we reach more families and children in need with our programs. Give to MDS and see the difference that’s made in the life of a child or family facing the challenges that come with special needs or diagnosis of a serious illness.

Refer a child.

Know a family or friend caring for a child with special needs or a life threatening illness? We invite you to nominate a child to receive a bear delivery through our annual Holiday Bear Drive or submit a request to be a part of the Summer Playground Builds program. Fill out the form and we’ll be in touch with a referral questionnaire.

Sponsor a playground.

We value the support of businesses big and small in our communities. MDS’ program are made possible by the generous support of our hard working community members and we invite you to join us. Sponsor a playground for $5,000 and change a child’s life forever with a gift they’ll never forget.

Sponsor a bear.

Gifting a teddy bear is the perfect way to show love and put a smile on the face of a child. We know how popular teddy bears are, because every year we deliver hundreds during the annual Holiday Bear Drive. Sponsor a bear for $100 and make a child feel so special they’ll never forget it. Siblings up to the age of 18 will get a special gift, too!
