Dear SCARC Family,

It is exciting to look back this year and to view our accomplishments for persons with whom we are involved and their families. We are thankful for the opportunities we have enjoyed to provide more services to our family at SCARC.  We have fully expanded our residential services with the addition of two new group homes in Frankford Township, and we have expanded our capacity in our Harvest Home Foods program.  We are reaching further into the community for our food distribution program to meet the needs of more needy Sussex County citizens.  We have placed more individuals into community employment.  We have expanded our Harvest Home Explorers to participate in community life throughout the County.  Our business and service connections have led to more successes and more opportunities for the support of families.

 

We have served Sussex County for 59 years of notable and focused supports, and we look forward to our 60th anniversary year in which we will identify and support more needs in more families.

Our Mission

Provide high quality services and supports to people with developmental disabilities and their families in Sussex County.

“Our daughter Erica has been part of the SCARC family for many years.  She has been participating in the Just Us Kids program an absolutely loves it, it is the highlight of her week. Our family is so fortunate to have found such a wonderful organization to help us meet the needs of our daughter, and connect with others in the community. ”
— Darlene and Gerard Blandina
