Ohio River Valley Elks supports outdoor therapy space at Easterseals

May is Better Speech and Hearing Month, and at Easterseals we are thrilled to receive a grant from the Ohio River Valley Elks Lodge 231 that will help create an outdoor speech therapy and occupational therapy area at our Wheeling center.

Grants from civic organizations, businesses, and foundations are a huge part of our funding here at Easterseals in Wheeling, where we provide life-changing solutions to over 2,000 children every year from all over the Ohio Valley. These grants are vital to fulfilling our mission, and we are grateful for every dollar donated. 

Thank you to the Ohio River Valley Elks Lodge 231 for providing us a grant to purchase sensory equipment for a new outdoor speech and occupational therapy area! What better way to celebrate Better Speech and Hearing Month.
