Independence.

There’s nothing like a pandemic to remind us of what’s important—community, mutual respect, and creating great experiences out of adversity. That’s what our Daytime Support Team did for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  During a Zoom chat one day, everybody decided a pizza party would lift their spirits

So 17 delivery bags, ingredients, and a recipe were packed into The Arc’s  vans and delivered to each home. Team members provided virtual support while everyone made pizza.  The best part? Eating it!
