I give to support individuals with disabilities.

I have a passion for individuals with disabilities. Here in Southwest Missouri, the organization I choose to support is The Arc of the Ozarks. The Arc's mission is to support individuals with disabilities in directing their own lives as valued members of the community. This organization takes very seriously the services they provide to individuals. Not only is The Arc a 24 hour organization, the staff become family to these wonderful individuals. From Thanksgiving dinners in the gym to Christmas parties supported by the community - The Arc of the Ozarks provides a safe and supportive environment. I give to this organization because if I ever have a child with disabilities, I hope to have resources available as great as The Arc of the Ozarks. I support The Arc for the future generation.
