Mon-Arc of Monroe supports individuals with special needs

Mon-Arc of Monroe is promoting its services during Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month with the slogan “We’re Here All Year.” The organization, part of a national network, supports individuals with developmental disabilities through life skills training, advocacy, and social activities. Since 1962, Mon-Arc has provided free services, including monthly dances and social events. The organization has grown significantly, with over 130 participants at dances and plans for an outdoor ice cream social in June. Mon-Arc also offers support for navigating residential care and budgeting. Upcoming events include parent information nights and a membership drive in June. The organization continues to focus on community engagement and support for individuals with special needs.
