Charity Office Assistant – Summer Autism Retreat Campaign

Campaign Tagline: “100 Families. 1 Summer. A Lifetime of Hope.”

Our Mission

This summer, the Garden of Eden Autism Retreat Center, in collaboration with Chava Farm, is opening its gates to welcome 100 autistic families from Ontario who have been waiting—some for years—for a place of rest, joy, and connection. These retreats will offer therapeutic activities, nature experiences, and a safe, inclusive space for families to recharge. But to make it happen, we need the community’s support—and that’s where you come in.

You’ll connect with donors, sponsors, and community partners, inspiring them to be part of this life-changing summer.
