The Arc Changes Lives The Arc of Somerset provides quality services and advocacy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families to support development and achievement at every stage of life. The funds we raise through your support of The Arc Angel Gala “A Celebration of 45 Years of Service” will be used to support and enhance vital programs and services for children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Each year The Arc of Somerset County provides over 1,500 individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to achieve their own measure of success. We provide a full range of services for every age and type of challenge. Our goal is to promote learning and independence in an integrated, community based setting.
