The Arc of the Shoals

09/11/2026

In honor of 9/11, The Arc spent the day giving back to our community. We visited the Tuscumbia Police and Fire Departments with cookies and water to thank our first responders for their service and dedication.
We also donated hygiene bags to the Salvation Army to help those in need.
We are proud to support the people and organizations that make our community stronger every day.

🌺 🌴 Aloha to Summer 🌴 🌺

We had a tropical time celebrating the end of summer at The Arc of the Shoals! Our Luau was filled with sunshine, smiles, great food, music, dancing, games, and plenty of fun! 🍍🌺🎶

The individuals and staff enjoyed a day full of laughter, friendship, and making memories together.

A big MAHALO to everyone who helped make our Luau such a success! 🌺 We are already looking forward to our next adventure!

⚾️ What an amazing day at the ballpark! ⚾️

Yesterday, several of our individuals and staff attended the Trash Panda’s game. The weather was perfect, and they all had a blast cheering on the Panda’s, eating ballpark food and spending time with friends.

A big thank you to our staff for helping make these memories possible.

We had such a wonderful time with an amazing group of volunteers from Covenant Christian School today. 💚

They spent the morning playing games, laughing, dancing and connecting with the individuals we serve - and it truly meant so much to everyone involved.

Thank you, Covenant Christian School, for your kindness, energy, and willingness to make a difference. We are so grateful for your support and the happiness you brought to our day!
