The Arc of Delaware County

“We had nothing in Delaware County until Delaware County ARC was started (in 1967).” “It was a very big challenge and without the support of a lot of people in Delaware County we could have never done it.”

“Welcome to The Arc of Delaware County, one of the Country’s most progressive and unique organizations. It’s Delarc’s unique culture that produces such remarkable results. It’s a culture that’s crystal clear and completely focuses on the individuals that we serve, in their learning and growth.”

“It’s been a great joy to have the guys participate. They’re learning the nuts and bolts of how an engine works and how to do a basic service and tear down an engine. You teach something and the next week and they always remember; I think they’ve gotten a lot out of it. And it’s been good for us, too.”

“There are days I wish I could just plug my brain into the computer so that everybody can see the amazing things that I’ve seen. The pride that people have in their faces when they complete something that means so much to them is remarkable. I couldn’t put into words what excitement and joy and pride that I’ve seen in people. It’s unbelievable.”

“It sounds so cliché to say, but it starts with the simplest thing of genuinely caring; and everybody says they care, but obviously the proof can be in the pudding.”
