| 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.
