September 1, 2022 – BCArc thrives because it enjoys tremendous support from its community. For more than 60 years organizations, businesses, government agencies, and residents of Western Mass have helped strengthen and grow BCArc.
Our programs depend on community partners. The individuals we serve work as employees with area businesses; they volunteer with community services. Every day they engage in the community in some form. Volunteers take them to plays, concerts, and sporting events. And our partners provide the financial support that lead to new opportunities and experiences.
During the tough COVID days, staff and the individuals we serve spent time inside, staying safe. When programs opened up, we again realized how critical our partners are, and their role in enriching the lives of the individuals at BCArc. Community engagement is integrated with everything we do at BCArc. And because of the support we receive, the opportunities are boundless. Thank you.
