The Arc of Cedar Valley

The Arc of Grundy County has merged with the Arc of Cedar Valley.  This merger creates an increased area of service for the Arc of Cedar Valley as well as continuing established services provided by both organizations.  The Arc of Cedar Valley provides the following services: Adult and Youth adaptive bowling leagues, Art Able workshops- adaptive art workshops for school age children with intellectual or developmental disabilities, individual and group advocacy, information, financial assistance, and support.  These services are provided to individuals of any age with any intellectual or developmental disability and their families/caregivers.  The Arc of Cedar Valley is looking forward to serving adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in Grundy County.
