What an incredibly detailed history put together by The Lansing Journal! What especially stands out to us are the longstanding community relationships that have helped LARC to become what it is today. Groups like Lansing School District 158 and Lansing Junior Woman's Club among others have been with us every step of the way and have been integral in providing LARC clients with the services and experiences they enjoy today. We have said it before, and we will say it again: We are so blessed to be part of such a supportive and collaborative community! We love Lansing!

Throughout LARC's history, Lansing has always stepped up to fill the gap. The spirit of community that made LARC possible 70 years ago continues to make it thrive today.

Community employment can provide countless benefits to individuals with disabilities, including a chance to serve as contributing members of their community, pride, a sense of accomplishment, and of course a paycheck. Register for the LARC annual meeting and open house happening on May 18 to hear our guest speaker, Suzanne Aaron of The Arc of Illinois, discuss how guardians can navigate balancing community employment with the eligibility requirements of vital state benefits for their loved ones.
