The Arc of Moore County

What The Arc of Moore County does

The Arc of Moore County is a private, non-profit human services organization founded in 1960 and headquartered at 673 S. Bennett St., Southern Pines, North Carolina. It serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families across an 8-county service area in central North Carolina, including Anson, Harnett, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph, and Richmond counties. The organization is an affiliated chapter of The Arc of the United States and The Arc of North Carolina, and operates as one of 13 chapters of First In Families of North Carolina.

The organization delivers three core service programs: Respite Care (in-home and community-based short-term care to relieve family caregivers), First In Families of the Sandhills (resource navigation, state leveraged funds, and emergency assistance), and Advocacy (individual and systems advocacy on abuse, neglect, discrimination, and access to services). These are complemented by four life-enrichment programs: a Book Club, the Joyful Noise Choir, an Aktion Club co-sponsored with local Kiwanis chapters, and a Music and Movement Club. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on trained respite workers, program coordinators, and volunteer club leaders.

The revenue model is a hybrid of government funding, foundation grants, donations, and membership dues. Primary funding comes from the County of Moore, United Way of Moore County, the Sandhills Center for Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services, and the federal Medicaid program, supplemented by grants from the Moore County Community Foundation and Moore Women-A Giving Circle, plus private donations, planned giving, and tiered annual membership fees. The customer base consists of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families; there are no fee-for-service commercial customers.
