🎉 Celebrating 50 Years of IDEA! 🎉

On June 3, 2026, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Massachusetts Early Intervention Consortium (MEIC) gathered at the Massachusetts State House to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). 💙

Members of The Arc of the South Shore team were proud and excited to be part of this special event, which brought together children, families, Early Intervention providers, MEIC board members, the DPH Early Intervention Division, State Representatives, and advocates from across the Commonwealth. Together, we celebrated five decades of progress, inclusion, and opportunity for children and families. 🌟👏

Here's to continuing the important work of supporting every child’s growth, development, and success! 💛

The Whippoorwill Chorus recently stopped by our Day Habilitation program to share their beautiful voices and spend time with our clients. The room was filled with music, smiles, and joy as everyone enjoyed singing along together. 🎵😊

As an extra special surprise, the chorus treated us to a heartfelt rendition of "Happy Birthday" in honor of The Arc of the South Shore's 75th anniversary! 🎂🎉

This year, we are proud to celebrate 75 years of serving individuals and families throughout the South Shore community. We are so grateful to the Whippoorwill Chorus for helping us mark this milestone with their wonderful performance and warm wishes. 💙

🛍️ BIG NEWS! 💙

Throughout the month of June, The Arc of the South Shore has been selected as a beneficiary of the Stop & Shop Community Bag Program! 🎉

Every time you purchase a $2.50 reusable Community Bag at the Stop & Shop located at 468 Washington Street in Norwell, MA, $1 will be donated directly to The Arc of the South Shore to support the individuals and families we serve. 🙌

It’s a simple way to make a meaningful impact while helping the environment. 🌎 With Massachusetts’ ban on single-use plastic bags, there’s never been a better time to choose reusable bags that give back!

💫 One bag. One dollar. A lasting difference.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Every purchase counts, and every bag helps strengthen our community!
