At The Arc Mid-Hudson, we are proud and grateful to have 1,200 dedicated employees who work each day to advance our mission: empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve and experience the highest quality of life.

To show our appreciation—and to celebrate the holiday season—our leadership team delivered pies and gift cards to every staff member. 🦃🍁

Self-advocates and staff from The Arc Mid-Hudson participated in a rally today at the State Capitol. The rally was sponsored by New York Disability Advocates (NYDA) and drew several hundred people from across the State. The purpose of the event was to begin our 2026 State advocacy effort which will include a 2.7% targeted inflationary increase, workforce support and infrastructure investment.

Today, we’re joining at the NYS Capitol to call on to enact our Care Force Affordability Agenda and financial protections for the I/DD community, including our staff who work hard to support New Yorkers with disabilities.

It’s time to make our voices heard and ensure providers and staff have the resources they need to deliver quality care.

A day to remember at The Arc Mid-Hudson, as we proudly hosted an uplifting event in partnership with The Ability Experience, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and promoting understanding of individuals with disabilities through cycling and community engagement. This was the second year in a row that the agency was able to host this event.

The Ability Experience riders, who are on a statewide journey to promote inclusion, spent the afternoon with the individuals supported by The Arc Mid-Hudson and the dedicated staff who serve them every day. The energy was high, and the atmosphere was full of joy as guests, family, and participants shared moments of connection, laughter, and fun. From the moment they arrived, the Ability Experience team demonstrated kindness, compassion, and genuine respect for everyone they met.

The afternoon was packed with activities, including dancing, engaging games, and delicious food that brought everyone together. Music filled the air as participants hit the dance floor, while others joined in outdoor games.

We are also extremely thankful for the generous $1,500 donation given to The Arc Mid-Hudson by the Ability Experience.
