WHO BENEFITS?
The Association for Retarded Citizens
of Essex County, Inc. (ARC) is a private, non-profit agency serving people
with developmental disabilities who live in and around Essex County, NJ. In
1947, a small dedicated group of parents established the foundation for what
would become The ARC of Essex County.
Today, a multi-million dollar budget is needed to support nearly 500
dedicated ARC staff members who work with over 1200 people with
developmental disabilities. By combining compassion and competence in 46
district programs, our staff helps individuals from birth through senior
years live fuller, more satisfying lives. We believe we are in the business
of building tomorrows fro the individuals we serve.
It is through our mission that we pledge to make a better tomorrow a reality
today.
