It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yes, it's only September, but here at The Arc, we're getting an early start.

Every holiday season, The Arc partners with local businesses and churches to provide holiday gifts to adults, youth and children who experience disabilities.

The Arc is now accepting gift request forms. Download the Tree of Joy gift request form and return the completed document by Nov. 1 . Due to tight timelines this year, no late forms will be accepted .

If you know of a church, business or agency that would like to fulfill some of this year's gift requests, or if you would like to pick up an individual gift request tag, contact Laura . We also need volunteers' helping hands during the holiday season. If you can help for an hour or two, contact Erika to learn more about volunteer opportunities .
