March of Dimes - Not Accessible?

The March of Dimes, a non-profit charitable organization who raises funds to assist adults who have a physical disability, have moved their used clothing store to a building that is not wheelchair accessible. I find this most disturbing.
The adults, who used to benefit from working in an accessible location, or from the on-the-job skills training, are now cut out.
This means the physically disabled adults, that this non-profit agency raises funds for, are unemployed, living on ODSP (the Ontario Disability Support Program), and in some cases, very isolated and very depressed.
And the province says accessibility is improving? I would suggest accessibility has been slowly eroded with cost cutting measures and the lack of public outcry, which demands accountability for the money that has been donated.
