Easter Seals Disability Services

Making a Difference Through a Financial Gift

Your contribution makes it possible for Easter Seals to offer services that help infants, children and adults with disabilities achieve their goals and live more independent, satisfying lives.  Your gift to Easter Seals will help improve the lives of those throughout greater Waterbury and northwestern Connecticut who have special needs.

Donate Online - When you give to Easter Seals, almost 90 cents of every dollar is used to provide direct services for children and adults with disabilities.
