ARC Activity & Recreation Center

It is the mission of ARC to provide a modern, friendly atmosphere for socialization and fitness, as well as recreational, nutritional, health support and assistance services for senior citizens throughout McLean County.

We believe in supporting a comprehensive range of programs and services for older adults. Our classes and activities meet a wide array of interests, expectations and needs while we work to continually expand our program.

ARC, sponsored by Normal Township & City of Bloomington Township, works with other supportive senior service agencies and individuals in and outside of McLean County.

All donations to ARC benefit our 501(c)(3) entity, the ARC Living Memorial Fund. Donations to the Fund allow us to ensure that we can keep our current programs strong and expand to meet the needs of our seniors now and into the future.
