Myth:
Government services provides people with disabilities everything they need.
Fact:
Although government services plays a critical role, it is not enough to cover an individual’s entire needs. In fact, Easter Seals needs to raise more than $9 million this year to fill
these funding gaps. You can help buy shopping at Food Lion February 13 – March 11 and donate at the register! |
