PELL CITY — The ARC of St. Clair County accepted a $25,000 donation to help with its daily operations but says it still needs more help.
Last Friday, members of the ARC’s Board of Directors and Executive Director Tara Herrod accepted the donation from the private trust of the late Max P. Clay Jr. The donation was delivered by Charley Tudisco of Pruitt, Tudisco and Richardson PC.
Board President Joyce Cunningham said the organization is very appreciative of the donation.
“I don’t even remember the last time we got that kind of donation,” she said.
Cunningham said the ARC has recently been trying to spread more awareness of its program as it has been hit hard during the pandemic. She said the ARC program works to provide residential care to adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities throughout St. Clair County along with a day program for people who live in the community.
