ARC of the Treasure Coast offers holiday dream list
It’s been a busy year for ARC of the Treasure Coast. In January 2023, we announced the merger between ARC of Martin County and ARC of St. Lucie County.
In July, we received WAIBLE Funding from our state legislature which will help build two homes for women with intellectual and developmental disabilities who need long term care.
Our Employment Programs have expanded throughout four counties to include internship programs with Cleveland Clinic/Martin Health, internship/work programs throughout the St. Lucie County, management of the I-95 Rest Stops in Martin and St. Lucie Counties where we employ over 30 individuals with disabilities. And our latest venture in the food service industry where we have opened the Caring Café in partnership with the Boar’s Head Corporation and a grant through the Martin County Board of County Commissioners to develop work programs for people with disabilities.
We are so grateful for the support we received this year. The boundless needs of this unique community of children and adults can be daunting. But the ARC team is steadfast and focused on providing the best care and services. Yet, all that we do is not possible without the charity of others.
If you plan to donate during this season of giving, we humbly ask you to consider giving to ARC of the Treasure Coast.
The Advocates for the Rights of the Challenged is dedicated to assisting, supporting, and empowering children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve their fullest potential.
The Treasure Coast division provides vital services from Vero Beach to Palm Beach Gardens and Okeechobee.
Some of ARC’s exceptional programs include summer camps and After-School programs for children. Residential and supported living services, day training programs, community inclusion services, transportation, intensive behavioral services, and Advanced Employment Services for adults.
Please visit our website to locate our Dream List of items requested by each department of our organization. These will be used to train, educate, entertain, and generally enhance the exceptional programs for the very special people in our care.
Thank you to the community for your generosity during this season and all year long.
