What we do:

Fund Raising:

Each year BAARC organizes a variety of fund raising activities throughout the community. The revenue earned during these events is vital to the continued success of our programs.       

Employment Services

BAARC operates an Employment Services Program, offering both placement assistance in local businesses and job opportunities at our own Shoe City Contract Company.

Family to Family Support:

BAARC's Family to Family Support Center provides an active information, education and referral service to all members of the community.

Vehicle Donation Program:

The Arc of Massachusetts and its chapters are pleased to announce a new Vehicles Donation Program.  All chapters of The Arc of Massachusetts can now accept car donations as another method to increase funds to expand our advocacy and support.  This is being done as a collaborative activity through the state chapter.  The process takes minutes and is completely done through The Arc of Massachusetts website.

To find out if your used vehicle qualified, just go to our website, www.arcmass.org, and click on the car in the left-hand column.  Follow the instructions.  Please remember to designate The Arc of Massachusetts, Brockton as the selected charity when you are linked.  Email us at baarc@comcast.net so that the Brockton Area Arc is credited for the donation.
