This year we will walk to celebrate Camp Bulova, a wonderful program that was created and made possible by funds raised through our Walkathon!  Come, join us and see what your support means for so many of our families in the Greater Hartford Community!

Picture your typical schedule for a week, and then imagine doing these same activities while caring for a loved one with intellectual disability who requires your constant, undivided attention and assistance. Exhausting, isn't it?  For those families who cope with this challenge every day, the strength and energy required to face each day is almost unimaginable.

Thankfully, HARC offers hope, restoration, and help to these families through its Respite Care Program.  Since HARC believes that one size does not fit all, respite care is individually tailored to the specific needs of each family. Relief may come in the form of in-home assistance, organized family retreats, weekend camping, or a Saturday day program specializing in cognitive and therapeutic activities.

So, come out on May 18th and join us in offering hope and help to families in need!
