Giving Tuesday 2024

It is safe to say that the past few months have been incredibly devastating and humbling for those living in western North Carolina. Our staff, individuals we serve, and their families in that area continue to rebuild their lives from the ground up.

Many lost their homes, their vehicles, and everything they owned. We’ve heard stories of people fleeing their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities have lost supports and services because their care workers have left the area or no longer have transportation.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, The Arc of North Carolina remains on the front lines of crisis response. After the storm, our team immediately stood up our internal Crisis Response Team to assess the safety of our staff, the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and families we serve, and our housing.

On this Giving Tuesday, we ask that you please consider giving a donation to our Hurricane Helene Relief Fund. These gifts help us continue our work serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in western North Carolina.
