Gateways Community Services

Gateways Community Service

2026 Goals:

At Gateways Community Services, we believe everyone deserves the chance to reach their fullest potential. Thanks to community support, this year families found stability, children built new skills, and adults gained greater independence and belonging. For over 40 years, Gateways has supported nearly 3,000 individuals of all ages through programs that empower people with developmental and intellectual disabilities to live, learn and thrive. As we look to the future, our new Strategic Plan focuses on expanding access to vital services, strengthening community partnerships, and investing in innovative solutions, ensuring Gateways remains a trusted resource for years to come. Together, we’re building a community where everyone belongs.

Fundraising Events:

Gateways’ fundraising brings our community together to make a difference. From Imagine the Possibilities to Trivia Night, Giving Tuesday and NH Gives, every event supports individuals and families. In 2026, we’re adding intimate donor gatherings to celebrate our supporters. Follow us on social media for event dates, or contact Carolyn McLaughlin to host a house party or become a sponsor.

Giving Opportunities:

Every gift helps build a stronger, more supportive community. From event sponsorships and in-kind donations to monthly giving or legacy giving, there’s a way for everyone to make a difference. No gift is too big or small. Contact Carolyn or donate online at www.gatewayscs.org

Volunteer Opportunities:

Join us as a volunteer! Help at events, lead activities, support projects or assist in the office—every hand makes a difference.
