The Arc Chemung-Schuyler

The Arc Chemung-Schuyler provides supports and services to nearly 1,100 people, and their families, with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, in Chemung and Schuyler Counties, and beyond. Committed to promoting full inclusion and participation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism in their communities throughout their lifetime, from youth through past retirement age.

Support from community members, like YOU, directly impacts programs, enabling people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism to maximize their abilities and find ways to overcome their challenges.

Sadly, we are still in an era when government at every level seems determined to slash funding for services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and autism, so your donation today is crucial! We are grateful for your support, and so are the people we support.
