The Arc of Union County, Inc. is a non-profit, non-sectarian 501 (c) (3) membership-based organization dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities and to assisting their families in promoting the quality of their care and support. Affiliated with both the New Jersey and National Arc, The Arc of Union County was founded in 1949 by parents of children with disabilities.
