Ways You Can Help During Tough Financial Times

In these difficult economic times, we know that everyone is feeling the pinch. But, with state funding cutbacks, your support is crucial, now more than ever, in helping Easter Seals fulfill its mission and having life-changing impact on people with disabilities and special needs in New Jersey.

Easter Seals impacts the lives of people with disabilities and their families by providing the ability to learn new skills, obtain work to earn an independent income in the community or through self-employment, and build self-esteem and social skills through meaningful recreation. We would not be able to fulfill this mission to its fullest extent without YOUR partnership. It is because of YOUR support that Easter Seals can continue to enable people to achieve levels of independence not otherwise readily available to them.

Your support through donations, volunteering of your time, or even coming out to join us at fundraising events help people with disabilities by providing the funds needed for Easter Seals to create tangible, life-changing solutions in the lives of so many. With over .90 cents of every dollar going directly to the provision of services, we are proud of our record of putting your donations to work effectively.
