Easterseals Crossroads has been a vital part of our community for over 85 years! We respond to needs from people with disabilities in our community who need us. Not only are we a leading resource for people with disabilities and their families, we are a resource for partner organizations, businesses, employers, nonprofits, schools, universities, civic groups and more.
We served over 5,000 people this year through direct service, yet our community reach extends to families and communities within each individual person’s life. That total reach is closer to 90,000 people when consideration is given to all who benefit from our impact.
We serve children and adults with disabilities and we serve our veterans. Our programs for children include early intervention services; physical, occupational and speech-language therapy; autism and behavior services; respite and camp programs. Our adult programs include adult day services; employment and veteran services; and transition services. Our family programs include Deaf services; home modification services; a speech and hearing resource center; and an autism resource center.
From now until the end of the year, we will be featuring stories about some of our program participants so that our community can learn more about what we do at Easterseals Crossroads. As an agency dedicated to finding ways to maximize independence for those we serve, we love sharing what we do!
And we hope you will want to join us in being part of something bigger this year for veterans and people with disabilities. We rely on philanthropy for 25% of our operating budget. We want to be the resource upon which people depend for many years to come.
