Help Easter Seals Create Solutions and Change Lives
Creating solutions and changing lives is what we do at Easter Seals. Join us and you too can make a difference and help people with disabilities achieve their goals. Volunteer your time to share your talents. Whether performing office work, volunteering at events and camps or another way...you can help!
Need more convincing? In the words of Edgar "Daddy" Allen, founder of Easter Seals, "We have but one life. We get nothing out of that life except by putting something into it. To relieve suffering, to help the unfortunate, to do kind acts and deeds is, after all, the one sure way to secure happiness or to achieve real success. Your life and mine shall be valued not by what we take...but by what we give."
Easter Seals has some wonderful volunteer opportunities at our child care facilities, schools and special events.
