🍂Fall into a Fantastic Week! As we move into the last full week of September, we’re excited for all that’s ahead! We’ve enjoyed seeing the return of football, and hopefully it won’t be long before we’re enjoying some good gumbo weather. A big thank-you to everyone participating in the Change Champions Challenge! A representative from Miles Perret Cancer Services will be coming to the Arc one day soon to deliver the containers for the change. For now, you can put any change you collect into a container or Ziploc Bag. Please call us at 337-342-2781 if you have any questions about this campaign.
