At the Arc Mercer, we are deeply committed to helping individuals with developmental disabilities lead independent and fulfilling lives. Through our various programs and services, we provide the support and resources that empower people to live, work, and thrive in their communities. As a vital part of New Jersey’s support network for individuals with special needs, we rely heavily on the generosity of our community—and that includes the incredible support we’ve received through the New Jersey Employees Charitable Campaign (NJECC).
A Day at the NJECC Fairs
Recently, the Arc Mercer has had the privilege of attending NJECC fairs, including one of our most recent events at the Department of Transportation. These fairs provide a unique opportunity for us to connect directly with state employees and share more about our work. We’ve had a fantastic time meeting so many new people, talking about the life-changing services we provide, and handing out our merchandise and informational cards. It’s been inspiring to see the growing interest in our mission and to hear firsthand how much people appreciate the work we do.
One of the most rewarding aspects of these events has been witnessing the generosity of state employees who are excited to donate to our cause. Their contributions are making a real difference in the lives of the individuals we serve. From enabling more meaningful employment opportunities to funding essential healthcare and residential services, every donation counts.
Why Donations Matter
The importance of donations for organizations like the Arc Mercer cannot be overstated. Contributions from the NJECC allow us to continue offering programs that help individuals with special needs gain the independence and support they need. Whether it’s through our vocational training programs, residential services, or transportation assistance, donations directly impact the people we serve every day.
In addition to our many services, the Arc Mercer also provides employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities through initiatives like our janitorial services, which clean over 2.7 million square feet of New Jersey office space daily. This is just one example of how our programs empower individuals to contribute to the community, while also receiving valuable work experience that helps them thrive.
But our impact goes far beyond the workplace. Your donations also support:
