Easterseals delivers continued services for New Hampshire and Maine veterans and families with support from the TD Charitable Foundation
The grant helps provide ongoing critical care coordination and emergency financial assistance for low-income veterans and their families during COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all New Hampshire and Maine residents, but thanks to the generosity of the TD Charitable Foundation, Easterseals NH and ME Military & Veterans Services has been able to quickly and efficiently help service members, veterans and their families with a wide range of family, personal and financial needs.
The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have made it challenging for people to access the services they rely on for their health and well-being. Easterseals is grateful for philanthropic partners, including the TD Charitable Foundation, who provided the financial support needed to continue services for low-income veterans and their families. The grant from the TD Charitable Foundation will ensure that veterans continue to receive critical care coordination and emergency financial assistance while maintaining personal safety during the pandemic.
Maureen Beauregard, President & CEO for Easterseals NH, ME & VT and Farnum, noted, “The COVID-19 pandemic has changed all of our lives, but with the generous support of the TD Charitable Foundation, Easterseals Military & Veterans Services in NH and ME were able to adapt and quickly respond to the needs of those who have served our country. Our commitment is to ensure that veterans who require assistance during this challenging time receive the services they need. We are incredibly grateful to have partners like the TD Charitable Foundation who share our commitment to ensuring no veteran is left behind. We thank the TD Charitable Foundation for always being there for our most vulnerable residents and providing an important safety net in times of crisis.”
“We are deeply grateful to those who have served our country and to the organizations who assist those who have served,” said Sheryl McQuade, Regional President, Northern New England, TD Bank. “We are proud to support Easterseals New Hampshire and Maine and their efforts to ensure our most vulnerable residents, including low-income veterans, continue to receive the critical assistance they need during this time.”
