During this time, The Arc of Northern Virginia is working to make sure we can keep meeting the needs of people with disabilities of all ages and their families. Because the families we serve cannot wait. We have to keep our resources available for those who need help. We have to keep our advocacy efforts loud and prominent in order to make sure that people with disabilities are not left out of the various relief packages. We have to engage the creativity of our amazing case managers to serve our clients while still meeting mandated requirements and guidelines. We still have to serve our Special Needs Trust clients, who still need their bills paid on time. And keep responding to questions to our Information and Referral portal come in at all hours of the day and night and messages come in via our social media channels every day of the week. Because lives literally hang in the balance. There are over 39,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout Northern Virginia that count on us.
Thank you for believing, like us, that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities deserve every chance for a healthy, happy, inclusive life.
We invite you to join with us to make possible all that The Arc of Northern Virginia does.
