ARK Advocates is a nonprofit volunteer organization made up of family members, self advocates and community members. In addition to advocacy, we have expanded our service to include providing financial assistance, respite care and an adaptive equipment lending library free of charge to those in our community who are in need. ARK provides support to individuals from high functioning to medically fragile, including those with complex physical and/or cognitive needs.
