Volunteering through the COVID-19 Pandemic

Here at The Arc Westchester we are proud of the efforts we’ve made to adjust during this Coronavirus Pandemic. It hasn’t been easy, and it’s far from over, but we are confident that will come out stronger on the other side. Especially with support from our community partners. That includes YOU, our amazing volunteers.

Since the beginning of this pandemic, we have been inspired by the resilience of our volunteers, as they continue to engage with our community through virtual and remote efforts. We encourage you to do the same, and make an impact!


To learn more about how you can get involved through remote volunteering, please reach out to our Director of Volunteer Services and Fund Development: Todd Bazzini at TBazzini@arcwestchester.org.
