For many years, Susan Parziale was a dedicated member of the Autism Support Center’s Parent Advisory Board, and her family’s generosity has touched countless lives. Over the years, the Parziale family has provided gift cards to families in need during the holiday season—an act of kindness that has brought comfort and joy when it was needed most.

This year, thanks to Susan, Jonathan, and Jena Parziale, three families served by the Autism Support Center will receive gift cards that will help them meet essential needs and celebrate the holidays with dignity and hope.

Words cannot fully express our gratitude. On behalf of all of us at the Autism Support Center, thank you for your unwavering support, compassion, and friendship. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

Sincerely,

Gloria Ricardi Castillo
Director, Family Support Centers

For over 18 years, Shore Country Day School has been a steadfast partner in supporting families in need served by Northeast Arc.

The dedication of the school’s parent volunteers is an inspiring way to say, “We care.” Each October, their committee reaches out to us, asking for a list of families who could use a little extra support during the holidays.

What makes this tradition so special? They simply ask each family for one want and one need for their child—and then they make it happen.

We at the Northeast Arc Family Support Centers are humbled and deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment to families in need, especially those caring for loved ones with special needs.

Thank you, Shore Country Day School, for turning compassion into action year after year!
