Arc of Spokane, The

The Arc of Spokane believes that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy, and Down Syndrome, should be able to enjoy rich and meaningful lives just like anyone else. Since 1950 we’ve been creating opportunities for personal growth for the estimated 7,000 people in Spokane Country who have a developmental disability. Our programs help people enjoy comfortable homes in the community, find good jobs, maintain financial stability, participate in social and recreational activities, and avoid abuse and exploitation. We also offer resources for parents and family members supporting a person with a developmental disability. The Arc promotes independence and choice and enhances the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities and their families.

Monetary donations support the Lance Morehouse Jr. Fund, which provides Quality of Life and Social Inclusion grants to people with developmental disabilities and their families in our community, and The Arc of Spokane’s endowment. Donations of clothing and household goods support our Advocacy and Family Support program and The Arc Community Center, a social and recreational activity center for adults.
