ARC always needs goods and services. Commonly needed items include auction items of any value, equipment, snacks, office supplies, and gift cards. Services donated by skilled people like artists, office workers, landscapers, and trades people help us maintain our properties and office. We welcome short-term and long-term helpers, interns, and those seeking service credit. We also welcome new in-kind projects and ideas. View ARC’s Wish List for our current biggest needs.
