WHO BENEFITS?

The Arc of Essex County is a private, non-profit agency serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in and around Essex County, NJ. The Arc was formed 65 years ago through the vision of a small dedicated group of parents who wanted a better life for their children who were living with disabilities.

Today, a multi-million dollar budget is needed to support the programs and services The Arc provides to over 1,400 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in 44 distinct programs and services. By combining compassion and competence, more than 500 staff members help individuals from birth through senior years to realize their potential and live fuller, more satisfying lives. Through your participation, you will help The Arc of Essex County to build better tomorrows for those individuals in their care.
