Our Mission: To improve the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families through advocacy, education, support and socialization.

Fall is here! And that means it is time for the ARCASH EXTRAVAGANZA! Join us on Saturday, November 2, 2019 at
the Bavarian Hall in Altoona, PA for a night of dancing,
bountiful baskets, catered meal by Holland Brothers, and the chance to win money as we draw over $2,000. Tickets admit 2 people and includes beverages. All of this for only $75 (again, that admits 2 people). This fundraiser will allow The Arc Blair
to continue to provide new and innovative programs that promote independence and quality of life. Call The Arc at 814- 946-1011 to receive your tickets or email: mail@thearcblair.org!

The Arc of Blair County

The Arc of Blair County believes that persons with developmental disabilities are valuable members of society and have the same rights as all citizens. They have the right to a free and appropriate education in an integrated setting, the right to live in a comfortable residence in their own local community, the right to protection from health and safety hazards in their environment, the right to work at a meaningful wage in a vocation appropriate to their talents, the right to social and personal relationships and the right to participate in the recreational and cultural activities of their community. It is the vision of Arc of Blair County to foster, protect and nurture these rights.

The Arc of Blair County serves as an important voice for persons with disabilities and their families.

WE ARE...FRIENDS

The Arc is beginning a new program in conjunction with Penn State Altoona. We are starting a one-to-one friend activity where Penn State students match with an Arc member and do different things together - shopping, movies, bowling, etc. The 'friends' decide what they want to do and when. This is open to people over the age of 18. If interested, please contact The Arc of Blair County at 946-1011.

Concerned About Issues? Are you worried about the lack of funding for people with disabilities in the state budget? Do you have concerns about competitive employment because of a disability? Are you worried about services following high school? Contact The Arc of Blair County to discuss your individual situation. We have over 60 years of advocacy experience. Resources on a variety of topics are available.
