“In my world, L’Arche is the community that is modeling for us what the world has to become... what the world can really look like if we actually practice the heart of L‘Arche. The heart of dignity and love and compassion for everyone. No exceptions.“ –Tim Shriver Chair of Special Olympics, Fan-in-Chief of L’Arche

What would it be like for every person to experience true belonging and community?

As a community of people with and without disabilities, we believe it’s possible to shape a world that welcomes every person as a fully valued and meaningfully contributing member of society.

L’Arche GWDC has been a model for this since 1983, creating lifelong homes and intentional community through mutually transforming relationships.

Your participation and investment through the Heart of L’Arche Celebration makes a daily difference for our Core Members and Assistants, filling the gaps so we can more easily engage in regular life—running errands, volunteering, attending church, going to appointments, and more. With your support, we can pay our Assistants the meaningful wages they deserve.
