2017 has been a significant year of growth for EAC Network. Thanks to our expertise in so many fields as well as the dedicated support of our community, we have been able to add several new programs to our wide-ranging list of services. Read more about our growth in 2017

Help us kick start 2018 to be bigger and better! Give today!
Why give?
There are many different reasons why community members choose to support EAC Network. Susan O. told us she gave because:
"
My mother needed [Meals on Wheels] and it was wonderful for her. There was an additional time she needed this service and, due to cuts in funds, she was added to the waiting list. Unfortunately, she passed when I received the call that the program could serve her again. Meals on Wheels is a wonderful program and I wanted to contribute."
Donations like Susan's help fill funding gaps so programmatic hardships like waiting lists are minimized.
Make a difference today and ensure that your donation is received by the 2017 tax deadline!

Grassi & Co. Spreads Holiday Cheer to Child Abuse Survivors
|
Each year employees from Grassi & Co. come to our
Child Advocacy Center
and throw a huge holiday party for the children who have been treated there. They provide delicious food, beverages, crafts, and gifts that are given to each child to enjoy. This year, the children made personalized ornaments and participated in a sing-a-long in which a Grassi & Co. employee played holiday tunes on the clarinet. Then, Santa presented each child with a gift from their wish list. Thank you, Grassi & Co., for once again putting smiling faces on our children during the holidays! View more holiday party photos

Cohalan Cares for Kids is an annual fundraiser hosted by the Suffolk County Bar Association that raises funds for our
Suffolk County Children's Center at Cohalan Court
. The Children’s Center provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children while their parents or guardians attend to court business and promotes literacy by giving every child a book to take home each time they attend the Children’s Center – whether it’s once or 100 times.
This year's event will honor Sarah Jane LaCova, Executive Director of the Suffolk County Bar Association.
Attendees will enjoy live music, prizes, food, wine, and more!
Tickets are $60 or two for $100; law student tickets are $40. Sponsorships are also available, ranging from just $150-$1,500.
THANK YOU, SPONSORS!
