Since opening in 1975, our Yonkers Day Services site has provided person-centered programs that empower people with developmental disabilities to build skills, achieve their personal goals, and participate fully in their communities. Today, the center supports nearly 200 people, including approximately 50 parents with developmental disabilities who are raising children of their own.
Beginning in early 2027, our Yonkers building will undergo a transformative $4.3 million renovation funded through generous individual donors and foundations. This project is about much more than renovating a building—it is about creating a modern, accessible, and welcoming space where individuals and families can access healthcare supports, learn life skills, and build lifelong connections.
The expanded Yonkers facility will allow us to strengthen one of our most vital family initiatives: The Parenting Program. Parents with developmental disabilities will participate in hands-on classes focused on parenting, household management, nutrition, and daily living while their children take part in supervised, enriching activities nearby.
By removing childcare as a barrier, we ensure that more families can participate, learn, and thrive together in a safe, supportive environment.
By supporting the Yonkers Day Services renovation, you can leave a lasting legacy that opens doors of opportunity for individuals and families with developmental disabilities across Westchester County.
Your meaningful gift directly funds modern, accessible spaces—from an adaptive kitchen to specialized counseling offices—empowering nearly 200 adults and parents to build life skills, gain independence, and thrive together.
Sponsorship and Naming Opportunities are now open for individual spaces, rooms, and equipment.
