Happy in my Home, Community Support Services of Niagara and Garden City Comedy Festival have teamed up to bring you a night of laughter that only experienced comics can bring you. It’s going to be a wonderful night of laughs. Gather some family, friends, coworkers and come have some fun!
Proceeds go to helping local seniors and adults with disabilities with support services such as Meals on Wheels, transportation to and from medical appointments, grocery order/delivery, homemaking and more, allowing our clients to remain independent, safe and Happy in their Homes. These services not only help our clients, they also help to ease the caregivers load of responsibility and worry about their loved one.
