The holidays are a special time of year and we are grateful for all the contributors who made it possible for families connected to The Arc Baltimore to enjoy a wonderful holiday with their loved ones. Some picked up gifts that were donated by groups who "adopted" them and purchased something for everyone. Others came in to see the room full of donated toys and clothes for kids and adults, and they are selecting items for their families. We were able to help over twenty-five families this holiday season. The wishes of many of the families were fulfilled. Thank you from us to you!
