The Curchin Group is rallying donations for The Arc of Monmouth as part of its charity spotlight series. The Arc has long been doing crucial, wonderful work in our community; its ongoing efforts are even more important during these difficult times.
The Arc of Monmouth supports and empowers individuals with autism, Down syndrome, and other intellectual/developmental disabilities (I/DD) to live, work, and participate in their communities. The Arc serves 1,600 individuals in Monmouth County, providing an array of services aimed to help each person reach their goals, including:
In 1949, a group of parents came together to fill gaps in crucial services for their children with I/DD. They ran an ad in the local newspaper announcing that there would be a meeting at the Red Bank Borough Hall. The association that emerged from the meeting would grow to become The Arc of Monmouth.
Throughout its 70-plus-year history, The Arc has remained true to its mission to improve and enhance the lives of persons with I/DD and their families through services and supports, advocacy, collaboration with community partners and community education.
The Arc is committed to assisting people with I/DD to thrive in every aspect of their lives.
You can make a difference in the lives of over 1,600 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Monmouth County. The Arc of Monmouth is the organization behind affordable housing for over 150 individuals, enriching recreation activities and trips for nearly 600 participants, employment opportunities for over 400 people each year, behavioral health care for countless adults and children, and guidance for many families across Monmouth County.
In lieu of the 2020 Curchin Open Miniature Golf Tournament for Charity, The Curchin Group is promoting local charities remotely to keep “putting” our best efforts toward the greater good, together from a distance.
