🍫🎂 Happy National Chocolate Cake Day! 🎂🍫

Rich. Moist. Decadent.
Today we celebrate the dessert that never lets us down. Whether it’s homemade, bakery-bought, or sneaked in as a second slice (no judgment 👀), chocolate cake always shows up for us.

Go ahead—treat yourself. Life’s too short to skip dessert. 🤎✨

Do you prefer homemade or store bought chocolate cake?

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose fight for social for marginalized communities continues to be a model for the Movement. This photo, taken at the Americans with Disabilities Act Anniversary March in NYC in 1993, embodies the unifying spirit and persistence MLK Jr. taught, and continues in the disability community today.

The Arc of Texas is closed in observance of the holiday. We will reopen Tuesday.
