Easter Seals Disability Services

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 gain dignity, equality and independence. Volunteer your time to share your talents, whether performing office work, volunteering at events and camps, or another way you can help. Contact Easter Seals New York to learn more. 

Need more convincing? In the words of Edgar 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."
