To address local food insecurity amplified by recent changes and delays in CalFresh benefit distribution, The Arc of Butte County will be collecting non-perishable food and essential items. Our goal is to assemble boxes of staple food items that will directly support clients and families experiencing limited access to basic needs.

Recent cuts to food assistance programs have hit many of our clients hard, but your kindness brings comfort, stability, and dignity during a challenging time. Thank you for helping us stand together as a community!

Arc of Butte County provides direct care services to over 1,700 adults and children with neurologically based intellectual and developmental disabilities in Butte, Glenn, and Tehama Counties. We are thrilled to offer a wide range of exceptional services, including Adult Day Programs in Chico and Oroville, Job Development & Training (to prepare clients for jobs outside of Arc), Independent Living Skills instruction for adults living independently and a Respite Care Program which allows parents to leave their family members with IDD in the care of qualified Arc staff. Our team is dedicated to providing top-notch support and guidance to help individuals thrive in all aspects of their lives. These services are all funded through the State of California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and Far Northern Regional Center.
