On May 4, 2020, The Life Center reopened with additional safety protocols that allow them to remain the “home away from home” their clients and caregivers have come to expect. This pandemic has increased the need for caregiver support beyond the doors of The Life Center as people are more socially isolated and financially limited. To expand services during this uncertain time, The Life Center applied for and received CARES Act funding to provide additional support to older and impaired adults and their caregivers. The CARES Act funds can be used for individuals needing day health services as well as for caregiver support.

It was founded in 1964 with a goal to “Secure for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to choose and realize their goals of where and how they learn, live, work and play.” For over 50 years, The Arc of Davidson County has helped countless individuals, families, and organizations improve the lives of those with disabilities. Communities in Schools Big Toy Day was canceled this year, and Communities in Schools of Lexington/Davidson County was negatively impacted.

Communities in Schools operates in 24 schools across Davidson County and Lexington City School Districts. Now that North Carolina K-12 students are attending school at home or in a hybrid...
