Last night, several of our incredible self-advocates attended the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce Annual Gala, and they absolutely shined!

Thank you to the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce for hosting such a wonderful event and for welcoming our self-advocates so warmly.

The Arc of NCV was honored to be among the nominees for the Fauquier Chamber’s Nonprofit of the Year award.

To support the COSA Young Entrepreneurs program and The Arc of NCV’s other initiatives, donate here: https://shorturl.at/KFS2h or contact Maria Basileo at mbasileo@arcofncv.org for information about volunteer opportunities (high school students welcome!).

All of our services are provided at no cost to individuals with IDD or their families. The Arc of NCV is funded entirely through local donations. Please consider making a year-end gift to support inclusion in our community.
