TOP LEFT- No matter the weather, Austin is dedicated to helping customers at Leg Up Farmer’s Market. Leg Up Farmer's Market has been an awesome partner, providing many work experiences to students in The Arc of York County's Penn Employment Services program throughout the years. They appreciate the students’ hard work.

MIDDLE- The Arc of York County awarded its Open Door Award to Susan Newcomer. The Open Door Award is given annually to outstanding individuals or organizations that have worked to create new opportunities for support and community inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities.
