The holiday season can be a joyful yet challenging time, especially for families of children with disabilities who often face extra financial and social pressures.
On Saturday, December 7th, The Arc of Chester County will host its Annual Holiday Fun Fest —a special event that embraces inclusivity, bringing families together for a morning filled with a pancake breakfast and other foods, fun, crafts, a visit from Santa & Mrs. Claus, Freeze Dancing with Frosty, and other holiday magic.
The Fest runs from 9 to 11 AM at The Arc of Chester County, 900 Lawrence Drive in West Chester.
Register for the Holiday Fun Fest.
Every detail is designed with care to ensure children of all abilities feel welcome, supported, and part of a joyful community.
But beyond the inclusive fun and festivities, the Arc also runs its annual Holiday Giving Program.
Individuals and families currently being served by The Arc who are facing financial hardship are provided with gift cards for food and necessities in an effort to help ease their holiday burdens, thanks to the generosity of The Arc’s board, staff, partners and friends.
This year, every donation is being stretched further to bring holiday cheer to more individuals and families.
“For many, the holidays are difficult, especially for our adult participants and self-advocates who have no family. Our goal is to provide financial support, joy, dignity, and a sense of belonging,” said Jeanne Meikrantz, CEO, The Arc of Chester County.
You can be a part of this season of giving and donate to the Holiday Giving Program by emailing [email protected].
