These grant funds will be used for supplies and technology that will enhance a program The Arc currently offers, which empowers women and girls to make positive choices and gain knowledge of healthy relationships, domestic violence, family economic security, and more. We are extremely thankful to have the opportunity to continue this curriculum of classes in 2018.” said Susan Desrosiers, executive director of The Arc.
