The Center of Hope Foundation provides four day habilitation programs, vocational skills training and employment placement for over 400 adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). The Center has been a chapter of the National organization The Arc since 1956. Since 1986, the Center has created for profit and programmatic businesses to further train individuals for job placement in the community, as well as provide additional income to support non funded programs, such as sports & recreation (Special Olympic teams), emergency relief, a food pantry, and holiday giving program. After school programs and summer camps are available for children with disabilities as well. Our Mission is to provide people with disabilities and their families with the resources, services and opportunities to be contributing members of their communities and to achieve the most fulfilling and meaningful lives possible.
