ARC OF THE TREASURE COAST EXPANDS

ARC OF THE TREASURE COAST EXPANDS TO SATISFY UNMET NEEDS IN
PORT ST. LUCIE, UNVEILING HOME TO THE NEW T.I.P. COMMUNITY CENTER
 
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL. – The ARC of the Treasure Coast is pleased to announce it has purchased and closed on a building in Port St. Lucie that will house its new T.I.P. Community Center. The property at 451 SW Ravenswood Lane was formerly the Vista Gardens Ballroom.
The facility will be home to the ARC of the Treasure Coast’s Therapeutic Intervention Program (T.I.P.) which will benefit hundreds of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
 
The program is designed to improve quality of life by focusing on building essential skills for independent living, work, and education using tailored therapies, unique student training opportunities, and a safe, inclusive space. It will be the only program of its kind in Port St. Lucie.
 
Monday through Friday during regular business hours the facility will be used for ARC programs. After hours and on weekends, the T.I.P. Community Center will be available to rent for events like weddings and banquets, weekly club meetings or church services.
ARC of the Treasure Coast also owns and operates Alice’s Family Restaurant in Stuart, which could serve as a source for catering any of the events mentioned above.
Thank you to everyone involved including many of our community partners Sen. Gayle Harrell, Rep. Dana Trabulsy, the Board of County Commissioners of Port St. Lucie and the City of Port St. Lucie as well as our generous donors.
For more information about renting the community center, please call (772) 283-2525.
