Students organize major fundraisers for the benefit of The Arc (Tar Heel 10 Miler, ZTA Race for the Cure.) • The Knights of Columbus — raise awareness and funding for The Arc's programs through the LAMB's Tootsie Roll event each year. • The Cardinal Track Club — The Arc is chosen as one of the local non-profits to benefit from the awareness and the money raised from these three annual races: Annual "Turkey Gallop and Gorge," "Four on the Fourth," and Tour de Carrboro in October. • PNC Bank, Chapel Hill — each Wednesday the Petals with a Purpose program gathers in a PNC conference room at no charge to The Arc. • Hargraves Community Center — on Tuesdays Hargraves hosts The Arc's health and wellness cooking class allowing us to use the center at no charge. • The Root Cellar — encourages their staff to volunteer at The Arc. Each week the Petals with a Purpose program donates flower bouquets with Arc's information on each vase. The vases are displayed on their tables so patrons of the restaurant can learn about The Arc, take home and enjoy a free flower vase compliments of The Arc's "Acts of Random Compassion" Petals with a Purpose Program. People seeing these vases have contacted us to become volunteers with the Petals program. Just today we received a call from a film making student that wants to do a documentary on the Petals Program after witnessing the delivery of vases to the Root Cellar and the joy that it brought to many. • HOPE Gardens (Homeless Outreach Poverty Eradication program) - UNC School of Justice students converted an unused fourteen-acre piece of land into community gardens and offered local non-profits small garden beds to rent to grow vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers of their choosing. For the past six years, The Arc has rented two of these garden beds, growing food for cooking class and planting flowers to use in the Petals with a Purpose program. Surplus of the food we grow goes home with our individuals, or is donated to the local food pantry at St. Joseph's Church Food Pantry and to the Senior Center. The cooking class goes to the garden so individuals can learn firsthand how to grow organic food, make healthier food choices, and be in a peaceful setting enjoying the outdoors. • UNC School of Journalism and Public Relations — students intern thirty hours each semester creating videos, website, blogs, and marketing materials for The Arc. They also participate in The Arc's Spin, HOOPs basketball and cooking classes. • St. Joseph's Church in Carrboro - each week the Petals with a Purpose program donates two dozen flower vases for the St. Joseph's food pantry, so that recipients combine gifts of beauty to nourish their souls along with food to nourish their bodies. Several years ago, one of the food pantry patrons took home a Petals with a Purpose flower vase with Arc's information on it, contacted us and is now working as an Arc Direct Care Staff. The Petals program led this person to find employment at The Arc and to be in a position of giving back to the community. PROGRAM INFORMATION 1/20/2018 3:58:40 PM Page 14 of 24
