The Arc Erie County New York

02/23/2026

This week, we proudly celebrate the incredible therapists at The Arc Erie County New York who show up every day with compassion, patience, and expertise.

Our therapists empower people with disabilities to build skills, gain confidence, and reach meaningful goals—often through the smallest moments that make the biggest impact. Their work supports not just individuals, but families and our entire community.

Thank you for your dedication, your heart, and the difference you make every single day. We are so grateful for you.

On Wednesday, we celebrated an incredible accomplishment — the graduation of our HOST program participants!

Congratulations to Mary, Claire, Emily, and Corey on completing the program. For the last 10 weeks, they learned all about hospitality and culinary arts. Over the course of their training, they built valuable skills, gained hands-on experience, and showed what hard work and teamwork truly look like.

We are so proud of everything they’ve achieved and can’t wait to see where their talents take them next.

Black History Month

“I had no idea history was being made. I was just tired of giving up.” — Rosa Parks

Change doesn’t always start with a plan to make history. Sometimes, it starts with the courage to say enough.

At The Arc of Erie County, we honor Black leaders like Rosa Parks who stood up for dignity, equity, and human rights, values that continue to guide our work today. This Black History Month, we reflect on the power of persistence, the strength in everyday acts of courage, and the responsibility we all share to keep pushing forward.

Wear Red Day | February 6 ❤️

Here at The Arc, we usually wear orange, but tomorrow we’re wearing red to raise awareness about heart health and show our support for healthier hearts in our community. Small steps, like learning the signs of heart disease and prioritizing wellness, can make a big difference.

Join us by wearing red and sharing the message. Together, we can help build a healthier, stronger Erie County.
