Savings Institute Foundation Awards $3,000 to The Arc New London County

Norwich, CT – The Savings Institute Foundation has awarded $3,000 to The Arc New London County to help support empowerment/enrichment groups and activities provided by the Community Life & Advocacy program serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).

The empowerment/enrichment groups are key to introducing participants to the concept of viewing themselves as part of a broader community in which they have a voice, an interest, and a right of inclusion. They include self-advocacy, support for victims of sexual abuse/domestic violence, civic responsibility, and community volunteerism.

The Savings Institute Foundation was established in 2005 to support organizations that enhance the quality of life for the constituents they serve.
