Season of Giving, Giving Tuesday - A Way to Invest in Others
Most of us have experienced the gratification of giving, of lending a helping hand to someone in need, and not expecting anything in return.
That’s the true definition of generosity and we all know you don’t have to be rich to be generous. Even small contributions can make a big difference.
The season of giving is fast upon us and the need is great as Americans, businesses and non-profits struggle to regain footing following years of economic instability and the highest inflation in decades.
That said, generosity is the best investment especially when you give to organizations that take care of large groups of people who can’t take care of themselves.
For instance, ARC of the Treasure Coast is dedicated to assisting, supporting, and empowering children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We offer vital services to Northern Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee Counties.
Some of our services include residential and supported living, day training programs, community inclusion services, transportation, intensive behavioral services, and Advanced Employment Services for adults. Summer camps and After-School programs are available for children across the Treasure Coast.
All that we do is not possible without the generosity of others, and we are so grateful for the support of our benevolent neighbors.
When you think about everything you and your family are thankful for this year, please consider giving back to others; because we all know, people who are generous prosper in so many ways.
Some of the items needed by ARC of the Treasure Coast include:
Scooters for 5-7 yr. olds and 8-12 yr. olds
An Outside Storage Units for group homes (Rubber Maid)
Electric Pump to blow up balls and pools during the summer
Soccer Nets
Hopper Balls 20-inches or larger
Chrome Books and Communication Boards
Home Appliances
Please visit our website to locate our Dream List of items that will be used to train, educate, entertain, and generally enhance our programs and services.
On behalf of the board of directors, staff, families, and myself, thank you in advance for your generosity in supporting the very special people in our care.
