MFS Nevada was founded in 2020 to create more opportunities, support, and meaningful experiences for individuals of all ages and abilities and the families who love them. We have grown by listening to families and responding to the needs they share.

Our work includes sensory-friendly events, enrichment workshops, social opportunities, respite experiences, family support, and connections to resources. Each year, we also host our sensory-friendly Toys for Tots giveaway event, giving children and families a welcoming way to celebrate the holidays at their own pace.

A Permanent Place for Our Kids

Families across the Las Vegas Valley are facing a childcare crisis. For children with Autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities, finding a safe place to go after school, during breaks, and while parents work can be especially difficult. Families need these services now.

This year’s Community Creates Change Fundraising Brunch will continue to focus on helping MFS Nevada establish The Milestone House. In this permanent, accessible space, we can continue and expand specialized out-of-school care, respite, enrichment, social programs, and life skills opportunities. Having our own space would allow us to offer consistent programs, build a team around the children we serve, and give families a place they can depend on.

The Milestone House

We envision The Milestone House as a welcoming, sensory-friendly setting where children and adults of varied abilities can build friendships and practice everyday skills. Cooking, household routines, communication, and social activities would take place in a home-like environment, with support tailored to each person.

Our priority is a permanent location for care and programs. As we grow, we hope to establish additional spaces so families in different parts of the Valley can reach the services they need.

Community Creates Change

Funds raised this year will help us take the first steps toward securing and staffing a permanent space, continuing our programs, and expanding access for families. Scholarships will help children participate when cost is a barrier.

Every family deserves to know their child has a safe place to go, to belong, and to grow. Together, our community can create that place.

Together, our community creates change.
