This holiday season, we’re especially grateful for families who think of others in need. Joseph and his “Mimi,” a member of our Mom to Mom support group, assembled soda cake kits for families in our network, which we distributed alongside food baskets and grocery store gift cards for Thanksgiving. Their kindness helped make the holiday a little sweeter for many.

The Arc Baltimore recently hosted a successful Dental Office Open House at the University of University of Maryland School of Dentistry 's Special Care and Geriatrics Clinic.

This event provided a welcoming, low-pressure environment for people supported by The Arc Baltimore to tour the dental facility, learn about tools, and receive oral hygiene guidance. The goal was to build confidence and improve access to dental care.

We extend a huge thank you to Dr. Adila Baig and her team at the University of Maryland for championing inclusive dentistry. Additionally, thank you to Samantha Coxe, CEO of GoFlaus Dental, for donating an electric Flaus kit, which was won by raffle participant, Joe. Also, many thanks to the Maryland State Dental Association Foundation and the Maryland Department of Health , for their generous donation of essential oral health supplies and resources.

The Arc Baltimore joins the NADSP in expressing deep disappointment and concern regarding the use of the term. Derogatory language is unacceptable. Let’s choose respect and inclusive communication.

The NADSP is deeply disheartened by the President's recent use of the 'R-word' to attack Governor Tim Walz. This is not about politics. It is about basic human decency.

We are so proud of the fantastic volunteer work done by Autumn and Douglas! They spent time at the SPCA of Baltimore County giving love, cuddles, and walks to adoptable dogs awaiting their forever homes.

As the holiday season approaches, it's a great reminder that this time of year is perfect for spreading kindness and getting involved with local organizations. Volunteering is a heartwarming way to connect with your community and make a real difference.

Thank you, Autumn and Douglas, for demonstrating the power of giving!
