Resources
At The Arc of Allegan County, we strive to show people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as well as their loved one and caregivers that they are not alone. In addition to the programs and advocacy we directly provide, a number of local, statewide, and national resources are available to help.
If you’re not sure where to start, dial 211 from any phone. This social services hotline can connect you to various programs and agencies in the county.
For emergencies, please dial 911.
