Marking four decades of award-winning services for the intellectually and developmentally challenged community.

On Sunday evening, April 29^th Women’s League /Makor Disability Services will be Celebrating the

Past -Building the Future at its 40^th  Anniversary Celebration.

Since its humble beginnings with the opening of its first residence in 1978, Women’s League has met the ever-growing community needs of individuals and families with specific challenges and set a goal of providing exceptional services for individuals and families with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Today, Makor Disability Services  now known as, Women’s League, operates 32 group homes and supportive apartments for developmentally disabled babies, children, adults, and even married couples. At present, more than 800 individuals benefit from these crucial services, which positively impact on their lives through various innovative residential and community programs throughout Brooklyn. This September the Makor College Experience at Yeshiva University opened its doors to young men with special needs who can now fulfill their dream of attending YU. 

By design, Women’s League chose to quietly serve vulnerable children and adults in a professional warm environment but on Sunday, April 29^th the 40th  Anniversary Celebration begins!   

The entire community is invited to join the momentous event at the Palace on McDonald Avenue, in recognition of the dedicated Makor staff and   the evening’s worthy honorees, David & Cyna Singer-Guests of Honor, Shoshana Lefkowitz- Makor  Leadership Awardee , Phyllis Gitlin – Professional Excellence Awardee , to  honor the memory of our late resident, Gordon Levy and most importantly to recognize Jeanne Warman with the Founders Tribute Award .
