The Arc of Essex County is grateful to several local Knights of Columbus councils for their continued generosity and commitment to supporting children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Recent contributions include:

• Knights of Columbus East Hanover Council No. 6504: $2,590
• Knights of Columbus Our Lady of the Mountains Council No. 3533: $1,350
• Knights of Columbus Father James J. Kelly Council No. 3632, serving Verona, Cedar Grove and West Orange: $1,000

These generous donations will directly support The Arc’s programs and services, helping provide meaningful opportunities for individuals with IDD to learn, grow, connect with their communities, and achieve greater independence. The Knights of Columbus has been a longtime supporter of The Arc of Essex County, with local councils contributing to Arc programs, in particular Camp Hope and Stepping Stones School, year after year.

The Arc extends its sincere appreciation to East Hanover Council No. 6504, Our Lady of the Mountains Council No. 3533, and Father James J. Kelly Council No. 3632 for once again demonstrating their commitment to people with IDD and their families.
