Easterseals Southern California (ESSC)—which assists more than 14,000 people with disabilities throughout SoCal, more than 3,500 of them in the Inland Empire—has teamed up once again with Baker’s Drive-Thru restaurants for their 34th annual fundraising campaign.

From now until Nov. 28, the campaign asks customers to Round Up their bill to the nearest dollar to benefit ESSC services. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to support Easterseals’ life-changing services in the I.E. for children and adults with disabilities, helping individuals address life’s daily challenges and achieve personal goals to live, learn, work and play.
Since 1989, Baker's Drive-Thru has raised more than $5.1 million for ESSC’s disability services, much of it through its Safe Halloween coupon book campaign. Due to the pandemic in 2020, the Safe Halloween campaign evolved into the Round Up initiative and, despite strict quarantine restrictions at the time, raised more than $151,000.
