About Us
Everyone deserves the right to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Whether it’s a new mom who needs guidance, a gentleman with limited basic living skills, a 3 year-old getting ready for kindergarten, or a person with a disability searching for a job – these and others find help and support in the programs of Cardinal Services.
For many with disabilities, every day is a struggle to make do with what they have. However, the struggle is not limited to those with disabilities; their families often have struggles of their own. Caring for a loved one with a disability can present challenges, especially if a family does not have the knowledge or resources to do so successfully.
Many people in our community are living with disabilities.
They are our family members, neighbors and friends.
