If you and your team are looking for an opportunity to do a day of service in the community, contact us at The Arc of Union County! Together we can come up with a meaningful project that will benefit the people we serve while bringing your teammates together for a fun and worthwhile cause. In our Adult Day programs, we've had groups leading art projects, creating vision boards, hosting pizza and paint parties, and singing karoake. We'd like to host a mock job fair with guests who can talk about their work with our Bridge to Employment participants. Some groups have done toiletry and holiday gift drives for the people we serve. Others have done landscaping at one of our group homes. What are some of your ideas?
Contact us with other ideas! We love the creativity that groups bring!
