Special Needs and Disabilities Cause Week

Meet the NJECC charities that address this cause:

While many people with disabilities are active employees with vibrant careers who are respected in their various fields, fewer than 1 in 5 disabled adults are employed, and disabled workers earn about $9,000 less a year than non-disabled workers. Disabled or able-bodied, we all have the power and responsibility to make society more inclusive and representative of everyone.

If you care about empowering people with special needs and disabilities, show that #NewJerseyGives by making your pledge to charities working in this cause area.
