As one of the chapters of NYSARC, Inc., The Arc of Orleans County is taking part in the ongoing NYSARC Gives Back initiative. President’s Project Week is scheduled for Sunday, March 25, 2012 through Saturday, March 31, 2012. The goal of President’s Project Week is to have all the NYSARC Chapters participate in a volunteer program in our community during that week.
The Arc of Orleans County will be collecting personal care items, household supplies and pet related items from Monday, February 20th through Friday, March 30th. These items will be donated to Community Action of Orleans & Genesee to be given to people in our community who are in need (transitional, lower income, homeless).
