There was much to be thankful for during Thanksgiving celebrations and other seasonal fun in The Arc of Essex County’s residential programs in November, including:

• The Ashwood Group Home gathering with residents, staff, and families for a festive Thanksgiving feast together
• Residents at the Linden Group Home helping to prepare at Thanksgiving meal together
• The Belmont Group Home doing some early holiday shopping and visiting the Adventure Aquarium in Camden
• The Newark and Mt. Prospect Avenue Apartment residents enjoying the light show at the Turtle Back Zoo
• Studio Arc hosting Girls’ Night In and Man Cave Monday, bringing together women and men from across group homes and apartments for a fun and engaging evening of activities
