Your Donations Bring Hope

Between Hope and Reality

Many thanks to the ARC staff, BOD, volunteers and especially the community for making our first “Bridge The Gap” Annual Campaign a success! Together we raised $32,000 in pledges.

There are an estimated 240,000 individuals with developmental disabilities in California alone. Sadly, there is a growing population of special needs children right here in our community.

The stresses of everyday life greatly increase when a family is faced with the extraordinary challenges of parenting an individual with special needs.

80% of parents of children with Autism divorce. 63% of family-member caregivers battle sleep deprivation, depression and anxiety.

Since 1953, the ARC of Butte County has provided high quality services for special needs children and adults with developmental disabilities.

In 2010, we serve approx 900 families who have members with a developmental disability in Butte and Glenn Counties (Calif., USA).

Your donations and efforts during this campaign will insure our Family Support programs will continue to help parents through the stresses of raising a special needs child, helping to keep families healthy, cohesive, and united.

Your donations will help us “Bridge the Gap” between hope and reality for our clients and their families.

Thank you again for your support.
