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!”
