Your year-end gift changes lives right here in Union County.

As we approach the close of 2025, we’re reflecting on a year filled with growth, resilience, and countless moments of joy shared with the individuals and families we serve.

There is still time to support The Arc of Union County before the year ends. Your generosity fuels the exemplary services we provide to children, youth, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD)—from essential residential support to day programs, recreation, family services, and so much more.

Every gift🎁 helps us ensure that the people in our care continue to thrive, learn, and feel deeply valued.

Thank you for supporting this season of giving with kindness and generosity.🧡
