More than 160 children and family members hopped over to the Derby St. Shops on April 7th when The Arc of the South Shore, a family-oriented, community-based non-profit providing information, referrals, and community programs for individuals with disabilities, hosted an Easter Bunny Bash in partnership with the Hingham retail and event venue.
The Easter Bunny Bash featured an egg hunt, face painting, and photos with the famed rabbit, making for a magical day for all who attended the event held on the Derby Street Green.
“Many thanks to our good friends at the Derby St. Shops for their support of this fun-filled spring event,” said Abigail Parrilla, CEO of The Arc of the South Shore. “All who attended are sure to delight in sweet memories of this enjoyable day.”
About the Arc of the South Shore, Inc.
The Arc of the South Shore (The Arc) was founded in 1951 when a group of individuals created a school for children with disabilities. Then, in 1967, The Arc was deeded property at Webb State Park in Weymouth; the space gave the agency a permanent home and the opportunity to expand. By the end of the 1980s, The Arc became a multi-service agency. Today, The Arc is a family-oriented, community-based non-profit providing information, referrals, and community programs for individuals with disabilities.
These services include an Autism Resource Center, early intervention program, community supports, employment services, day supports and habilitation programs, in-home care, and residential services. All of their programs are based on their six core values of people first, community, transparency, self-determination, diversity, and respect. The Arc serves participants from communities throughout the South Shore, including Abington, Milton, Quincy, Randolph, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Hull, Cohasset, Scituate, and Norwell. Through their 72-year history, they have helped more than 100,000 people.
