Director's Gift Buys New Tech for Career Centers

We are so grateful to have amazing staff that support the mission of The Arc Middlesex County. Our Directors and Management generously donate a portion of their paycheck back to the agency each pay period. With these funds, we were able to purchase tablets, xbox consoles, and games for our Career Centers. These technology advancements are so important for our centers. Thank you to our amazing leaders!
