Concord - Granite State Independent Living (GSIL) is pleased to announce the Alexander Eastman Foundation has awarded GSIL $10,000 to support the purchase of a fuel efficient, cross disability bus to be used to transport consumers. This vehicle will replace a bus which was auctioned off due to age and high mileage. 

For individuals with disabilities, securing reliable transportation is one of the biggest obstacles on the path to living independently. GSIL offers accessible transportation to individuals with disabilities which allow them to be independent and self direct their lives. Our transportation services help people live their lives by getting them to and from events, meetings, appointments and errands. Having reliable transportation fosters independence in consumers, reduces stress and dependence on others and improves the overall quality of life. GSIL would like to thank the Alexander Eastman Foundation for its generous support of our mission.
