"Cold Hands, Warm Hearts"

SILVER SPRING, Md., Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid the January cold – and just before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service – military veterans, active service members, and their families will be receiving brand new laptop computers, thanks to the generosity of Comcast.

Comcast has donated more than 200 laptops to the military families enrolled in Easterseals DC MD VA programs, which include employment assistance, respite care, behavioral health care, and assistance to homeless veterans. Join us on January 13 as representatives from each program pick up their laptops.

"This incredible donation will bring greater access to our clients in so many ways," said Jonathan Horowitch, President and CEO of Easterseals DC MD VA. "These laptops will enable them to more easily access telehealth, engage in remote job interviews, explore learning opportunities for their children, and so much more."

"Comcast has a longstanding commitment to the military community, including expanding broadband adoption for low-income veterans," said Misty Allen, vice president of government and regulatory affairs for Comcast's Beltway Region. "We're honored to be kicking off the year by partnering with Easterseals to further increase internet adoption and improve digital literacy for military veterans and their families."
