DONATE
Meeting our clients’ needs is always a challenge for us financially. Although we receive state funding to provide services, this funding often falls behind the rising costs of care – meeting only about 75% of the actual funds needed to bring quality programming and supports to our clients.
For this reason, donations are extremely impactful, making it possible for LARC to continue to promote job training and employment, daily life skills enrichment, senior care, 24-hour residential services, and special recreation to more than 100 adults with special needs each day.
The following are ways that you can donate to LARC:
Attend our Pancake Breakfast:
Purchase your ticket to attend our spring Pancake Breakfast put on in conjunction with the Lansing Copper Muggers. The event will take place on Saturday, April 27 from 8am-11am at LARC. If you cannot attend but would still like to help, you can make a donation here. All proceeds from the event go to LARC, to help us pave pathways through individualized supports and services so people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can experience a self-directed lifestyle.
