Vons Launches Easter Seals Drive at Every Checkout Counter

Last year's campaign raised more than $1 million in support of Easter Seals Southern California.

Join the Vons store at 18439 Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana as they raise money during April for services provided by Easter Seals to local residents with disabilities. Throughout the month-long charity campaign customers will be given the option at every checkout counter of making a contribution to Easter Seals Disability Services.

Donations help Easter Seals provide local autism services, job training and employment opportunities, early childhood development, independent living options that keep people in their own homes instead of institutions, and services that help adults learn daily living and social skills that most of us take for granted.

“Easter Seals Southern California has seen first-hand the positive impact of the money raised by Vons and Pavilions stores in the last eight years of this campaign for people with disabilities,” says Mark Whitley, chief executive officer of Easter Seals Southern California. “Last year’s campaign raised over $1 Million in support of Easter Seals Southern California. We are truly grateful for their continued financial support that enables us to offer help, hope and answers to children and adults living with disabilities, and to the families who love them.”
