A campaign to support The Arc of Washington County
The Arc of Washington County (The Arc-WC) is seeking the generous support of the community to help ensure that our neighbors with disabilities, as well as the gifted, compassionate professionals who support them, have the space and resources they need to grow, thrive and succeed—now and into the future.
Since 1952, helping persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live fulfilling lives has been a dynamic partnership between The Arc of Washington County and our generous community.
Now more than ever, we need your support.
The overall project, which totals approximately $7.25 million, is being funded in part by government grants and The Arc-WC’s own reserves.
The new floor plan will allow the people we serve to work more collaboratively with one another and those who support them. The open spaces will be more flexible, making it possible for our differently-abled community members to practice life skills, explore their creativity, and make new friends.
The renovation allows us to implement these programs and provide the space we need to support approximately 100 more people over the next five years.

Once again, our community’s generosity will be the key to raising all the funds we need to bring these ambitious projects to fruition.
Contributions from The Arc-WC’s own financial reserves and grants from the government have given this fundraising effort a solid base, but we need your support to bridge the gap between what we have and what we need to complete this project.
