DANIELSON — Members of the Savings Institute team presented two checks totaling $700 to Susan Desrosiers, executive director of The Arc Quinebaug Valley. “Once again, the employees of the Savings Institute have demonstrated true kindness and dedication to help the citizens of our community.” said Desrosiers.
For several years, the Savings Institute has supported The Arc in many ways. The Arc provides programs for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and other life-affecting disabilities. Vocational, residential, recreation, day and retirement services offer opportunities for people with disabilities to reach their goals and be integral members of their community. The gifts will help to enhance services provided by The Arc.
“We have truly been blessed with such wonderful community support with regards to The Arc’s mission. It is people helping people that really make this agency shine, and that is all possible with the generosity of the community.” said Desrosiers. The Savings Institute has touched and improved many lives through their support.
