Like you, the people supported by The Arc of Howard County — and their dedicated support staff — are staying safe at home. To bring a little joy and happiness during these trying times, Comfort Bags were dropped off to them.
Made possible by a COVID-19 Emergency Grant from The Arc Maryland and an outpouring of donations from supporters and the community, The Arc of Howard County filled Comfort Bags with items, including DVDs, arts/crafts, makeup, cards/games, blankets, puzzles, and several new iPads.
Thank you to The Arc Maryland, supporters of The Arc of Howard County, and the community for your generosity!

Random acts of kindness are happening everywhere. Some might even call them…Acts of COVID Kindness! This week, The Arc of Howard County was the recipient of an Act of COVID Kindness. The Arc of Howard County’s very own Director of Person Centered Planning Holly Reasner, her husband, John Reasner of Reasner Studios, and Holly’s mother, Carolyn Ritter, teamed up with Dangerously Delicious Pies in Canton, Maryland to donate pies. This week, 66 Dangerously Delicious Chicken Pot Pies were donated to The Arc of Howard County homes in the community. The pies were a hit! Thank you, Holly, John, Carolyn, and Dangerously Delicious Pies!
