The people served by JARC,
a Bloomfield Township
based nonprofit organization
serving adults with
developmental disabilities,
enjoy a variety of life-
enriching activities with
each other and the larger
community, and a recurring
favorite activity that is always
sure to bring smiles to their
faces is playing Bingo.
A recent lively, in-person
Bingo event at Temple
Beth El attracted 49 people
JARC serves. The event also
welcomed 11 volunteers,
including teens from Adat
Shalom and students from
the Tony Richman Teen
Action Project.
The people JARC serves
were excited to enjoy each
other’s company and mark
their cards in anticipation of
shouting “Bingo!”
