Volunteering at Easter Seals…can help put hope in reach of children and adults with disabilities and special needs.  

We would like to take this opportunity during National Volunteer Week to thank all of our wonderful volunteers for their hard work and dedication to Easter Seals. Thank you again for all you do to make a difference in the lives of others!

Creating solutions and changing lives is what is important to Easter Seals. Join us and you can make a difference and help children and adults with disabilities and special needs achieve their goals. Volunteer your time to share your talents with our participants, reading to the children in our childcare programs, volunteer at events and health fairs, assist in our weekend respite program for medically fragile children and children with autism spectrum disorder, create a craft with our adult day participants, help with facility beautification and/or discover other ways that you can help.
