Greetings from The Arc Caddo-Bossier! It's that time of year again when all the nonprofits of North Louisiana gathered together by the Community Foundation of North Louisiana, invite you to Give for Good! Give For Good is an online giving event that raises thousands of unrestricted dollars for North Louisiana organizations and brings community members together to celebrate nonprofits and the important work that they are doing.
Starting today, April 22, you can schedule your donation to Give for The Arc Caddo-Bossier and help build unlimited opportunities for people with disabilities. This means supporting our work through our programs such as:
The Arc Caddo-Bossier is a private, non-profit agency that provides an array of services and supportive programs for infants, children, teens and adults with disabilities and their families.
For over 70 years, The Arc Caddo-Bossier has worked to build unlimited opportunities for people with disabilities — and it’s all thanks to the support of our donors and our community. Every dollar makes a difference by:
Providing high quality early childhood educational opportunities at The Arc Caddo-Bossier's Goldman School & Child Development Centers.
Provide children and adults the opportunity to experience riding a horse and be provided with access to equine assisted services from The Arc Caddo-Bossier's GREAT Program.
Provide adults we serve employment opportunities via Frost Industries, as well as recreational day program activities at the James Conly Day Program.
Provide adults we serve communal or individualized residential opportunities, as well as supported living services.
Leveraging The Arc Caddo-Bossier's voting power to help advocate for people with disabilities and their families at the state and federal level.
We ask you consider "Giving" to further support our mission for people with disabilities and their families.
