It’s official! Two of the region’s most trusted human services organizations have officially joined together. As of June 1st, Saratoga Bridges has unified with Coarc, the Columbia County chapter of The Arc NY to create The Arc Columbia-Saratoga. This proactive unification will ensure long-term stability, expand opportunities, strengthen services, invest in employees, and better serve people and their families in both counties. The unification brings together decades of combined experience, deep community roots, and a shared commitment to person-centered services. The Arc Columbia-Saratoga will support people and families across both counties under one mission: Together, we expand opportunities so that every person can pursue their goals and live a life of purpose and belonging. Stay tuned for information regarding our new website and our new unified page. We thank you all for your support, patience, and dedication as we move into this next chapter. Together, We Make a Difference!

We are thrilled to share our new agency video with much gratitude from our Foundation Board Member Karin Hyman-Gentner and Aubrey Guri who graciously offered to underwrite the project! Our thanks to Farrah and Dave Dobbins of MHF Photography who captured our essence despite the limitations of our COVID protocol.
