CardSharks+ began in 1995 as a weekly craft program, created in response to requests from individuals who wanted to develop and showcase their creativity. Today, CardSharks+ products include beautiful handcrafted all occasion and holiday greeting cards, as well as a line of jewelry. With money generated from the sale of products, participants are able to cover the cost of materials as well as receive some financial compensation for their work. This valuable program provides a work alternative for many individuals who face significant barriers in other employment settings due to their disability.
All Adult Day Service programs require registration. Please contact the CHIRS Intake Department to register. Participants accessing Adult Day Service programs need to be independent for all transportation and personal support requirements, as one to one assistance is not available. Participants who require additional support are welcome to bring a family member or attendant. Please note that programs may be added or changed in response to participant feedback.
