Three Arc of Butte County Families received Thanksgiving Food Baskets at the Arc's Chico Admin Office. The baskets were full of tasty treats from turkey to potatoes to pumpkin pies.

"Arc staff worked hard gathering the donated food," shares Patti Thomas, Independent Living Program Director," Bonnie Bethel, ILS Coordinator, even made homemade strawberry jam and Jennifer White, Office Manager, made the lovely baskets."

The families had a special Cooking Class with their ILS Instructors the day before Thanksgiving. They learned how to prepare the special meal including kitchen safety. You can see photos of the happy families on the ARC's FaceBook Page or at www.arcbutte.org

The Arc of Butte County would like to thank everyone who donated to the Thanksgiving Food Baskets. Including but not limited to: O.O. Lehm Kuhl, Patti Thomas, Bonnie Bethel, Jennifer White, Lynn Brown and Vickie Colgan.

The ARC's Annual Gift Wrap Booth has been an annual tradition for over 30 years. Every year we are fortunate to have volunteers from the community to staff the booth. We need your help again.

 

"It's great fun, " says Patti Thomas, Arc Associate Director, "My son Michael and I always spend a few hours each season at the booth wrapping gifts. We get to spend time together and spread holiday joy at the same time."

This year we'll have the Gift Wrap Booth in both ARC Stores (Chico and Oroville) from Sat, Dec 19th thru Wed, 24th, 10am-6pm.

Funds raised by this event help the ARC's Family Support Programs.

Give and hour or give afternoon you and you'll make a difference for special needs children and adults in out community.
