Celebrate Our Birthday!
We've thought of 60 different gifts we could really use to improve the way we support more than 3,000 children, youth, adults and senior adults with and without disabilities in our 39 homes, 76 vehicles and 14 classrooms. At 60thBirthday.org you’ll find 60 items—ranging in price from a few to several hundred dollars—that The Arc needs on a daily basis. Buy one gift or put together a “birthday care package” of different items to help us celebrate six decades of service to individuals and families.

Your gifts will be delivered right to our door—most of them with free shipping if you’re an Amazon Prime Member! Every penny you spend will go toward making a difference in the lives of the people we support 
Please choose gifts now to make sure we can open them on June 22 – our big day!
