annual report 2021
all abilities. limitless possibilities.
Though 2021 was filled with challenges for us all, few were impacted as
dramatically as individuals with disabilities. As a result of the continuing
COVID-19 pandemic, those we serve faced increased isolation, record
unemployment, and limited access to community resources. This required
Easterseals to find creative solutions to safely deliver our services to this
vulnerable population during this public health crisis.
Thankfully, our staff, supporters, and program participants rose to the
challenge and showed us how resilient and resourceful they are. In addition
to changing how we delivered our existing services, we also added new
programs, such as our Community Inclusion program and weekend respites.
There was also a mobilization of our advocacy network to ensure the State
would prioritize people with disabilities when passing legislation.
Thanks to their efforts, Easterseals was able to continue to pursue its
mission of enriching the lives of people with disabilities and those who care
for them. As you read through this report and see what we were able to
achieve last year, I hope you remember that without supporters like you,
none of these outcomes would have been possible.
a year of change
and creativity
Thank you for choosing to make a difference
