Donations
We need your help to reach more individuals and expand our programs! Your generous donation -- whether of $5 or $500 -- supports individuals with developmental disabilities by providing
- one-on-one support for families with education, housing, employment, long-term care and government services
- workshops and advocacy classes
- informative newsletters and e-Alerts
- research about developmental disabilities
- recreational activities for community members with developmental disabilities
- and more!
There are two quick and easy ways you can help support The Arc today.

Using our Donation Bins

You can drop off clothing donations right at the Dan Godwin Community Center or four other convenient locations! Look for the blue metal bins in Bellingham, Lynden, and Sumas where you can make a clothing donation at any time without having to schedule a pick-up.
Remember, if the bin doesn't have the letters Arc, it doesn't help the Arc of Whatcom County!
You can also drop your donations off at Value Village (150 East Bellis Fair Parkway, Bellingham); be sure to mention The Arc when you make your donation.
