Association Of Religious Communities Inc

A.R.C.s Urgent Assistance program provides financial assistance and food to prevent people from becoming homeless. Financial support is provided through government grants, contributions, and in-kind donations. With this support, A.R.C. is able to pay electricity bills, rent and other expenses when clients have been faced with financial hardships. A.R.C.s Comida Food Pantry provides food staples, dry goods, bread, fresh meat and produce to people who do not have the means to provide for themselves. The community served is predominantly immigrants and refugees.

A.R.C.s Domestic Violence Prevention program provides classes for offending clients to work on changing their behavior. The classes are funded by the State of Connecticut Judicial branch with additional support from private donors. All clients are ordered by the courts to take our classes. A.R.C.s classes are far more efficient than the cost of incarceration and far more successful in preventing recidivism.
