Who We Are

The Arc of Calhoun County is a United Way Agency and has been helping children and adults with developmental disabilities as they seek to be more self reliant for 54 years.
 

In addition, we help family members who are faced with issues related to the individual with a developmental disability.

 

We also help the community as it responds to the needs of its citizens with disabilities.

 

The Arc seeks to bring people together in a community where all people are accepted and respected, and where all who need assistance to participate receive it.
