People’s Arc Of Suffolk opens new Lake Grove “Program Without Walls” site
People’s Arc of Suffolk celebrated the official opening of its new Lake Grove “Program Without Walls” (PWW) location at 2780 Middle Country Road with a festive ribbon cutting and open house on Tuesday, November 10.
The new location is the second site of its kind opened this year, joining existing sites in Northport, Sayville, Westhampton Beach, and East Islip. The facility will provide five-day-a-week programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“The people we support are part of the community. They need to be giving back to their community as well, not just taking from it,” said Heather Thorgersen, chief program officer, People’s Arc of Suffolk. “Everybody has time, talent and resources that they can be giving to their community. We’re looking forward to hearing what community means to them and how they’re going to be giving back to their community.”
People’s Arc of Suffolk provides a wide range of services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including adult day services, children’s services, housing programs, vocational services, respite and community habilitation. To learn more, visit peoplesarc.org.
