The ARC of Martin County, (Advocates for the Rights of the Challenged) is a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering children and adults with I/DD through residential, vocational, educational, behavioral, and other healthcare services. “Our goal,” said ARC President & CEO Keith Muniz, “is to provide support, assistance and training that will enhance the abilities for children and adults with disabilities to thrive each day and achieve their fullest potential.”
“Without the support from our many partners, such as Publix Super Markets, PepsiCo-Frito Lay, Boars Head, US Sugar, H.E. Hill Foundation, and many other area businesses, we would not be able to provide many of the supports that we currently do that empower individuals with I/DD challenges to achieve their full potential," Muniz said.
