Dear Friends and Families of The Arc of Somerset County,
Watching a child make new friends, take first steps, thrive from receiving a service they truly need - these are some of the best gifts the Jerry Davis Center for Children and Families (JDCCF) at The Arc of Somerset County provides.
Meet Sally and Savannah, two young sisters in our JDCCF community. Sally, now two and a half years old, was born with complications and reliant on a feeding tube. Facing developmental delays, she attends our specialized childcare program full-time where she receives, among other services, Occupational and Speech therapies. Sally is now quite the eater - making wonderful progress and developing age-appropriate skills and behaviors.
Her younger sister, six-month-old Savannah, is thriving in our small group setting where her growth is nurtured in an attentive environment. Still acquiring new skills, Savannah benefits from the close attention and care we provide in an enhanced ratio, allowing her to progress optimally.
Milestones and successes like these are what the Jerry Davis Center for Children & Families represents. Central to our mission is integrated, specialized childcare with an emphasis on reducing financial barriers. Your generosity supports us in this mission on behalf of the many children JDCCF serves every day.
For 2025 we have set a goal of $25,000 to support access to specialized childcare for families in need, opening a world of services and advocacy for their young ones, like Sally and Savannah.

What is a DAF?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably-inclined individual, families and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock and in some case, certain liquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
