Fisher Family & Early Intervention

Program Featured in Press-Register

Last year, 146 infants and toddlers with developmental delays received specialized instruction, nutritional consultations as well as physical, occupational, and speech therapy in our Early Intervention Program. With your support, we can reach these children in the first 3 years of their lives and help them achieve their full potential.

Volunteer Spotlight:

Camp Send-Off Volunteer Camp ASCCA

Each summer, Goodwill Easter Seals provides more than 120 children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to attend Camp ASCCA, where they can swim, climb, fish and experience the outdoors in a totally accessible camping environment. This experience leads to longer, healthier productive lives.

Summer Camp is an exciting time and getting ready to go is a quite a production! Help campers and families with the wait by volunteering anytime Sunday, July 31 from 7:30-noon. From providing hospitality to assisting the nursing staff who interview each camper, you can make the difference for campers and their families as they prepare for their week of fun.

Please contact volunteer@gesgc.org to lend a helping hand.

Thank You Waste Management

Waste Management

A very special Thank You to our Walk With Me sponsor and community partner, Waste Management, for helping put hope within reach for children and adults living with disabilities and others in need! We couldn't do this without you!

With your donations, Goodwill Easter Seals spends 98 cents of every dollar helping over 7,600 people with disabilities along the Gulf Coast. From Early Intervention services for kids with disabilities to Day Care and Parent Training, from Literacy and Education programs, to programs helping people get jobs, from Senior Citizen programs to sending people with disabilities to experience the outdoors at Camp ASCAA to Medical Assistance services for those who cannot afford it... all of this is made possible through your donated goods.
