Who we are

About PARCA

Since 1952, PARCA (Partners & Advocates for Remarkable Children & Adults) has been dedicated to empowering individuals with developmental disabilities to live as independently as possible and lead fulfilling lives. Through a range of programs and services, PARCA fosters an environment of support and community, helping clients build self-confidence, develop vital skills, and achieve their full potential for happiness and independence. These programs include everything from individualized family support to services focused on education, housing, healthcare, and legal rights.


PARCA also offers a variety of community activities, including parent and sibling support groups, recreational programs, and advocacy efforts. The organization runs the REACH program, which provides before- and after-school care for children aged 4 to 13, as well as the CLO (Community Living Options) program, which offers specialized independent living skills training in areas like budgeting, cooking, safety, and job readiness. Additionally, PARCA operates independent living residences and group homes, providing residents with the opportunity to live semi-independently while receiving the staff support they need to thrive. You can learn more about PARCA and its programs on their website here.

PARCA Auxiliary

The PARCA Auxiliary is a dedicated group of volunteers passionate about supporting the vital mission of the PARCA Organization. Since our founding, the Auxiliary has been committed to enriching the lives of individuals and families within our community. We organize a variety of social events throughout the year, including an annual Christmas and Halloween party, bowling outings, and Secret Santa exchanges, fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging.


The Auxiliary is the driving force behind PARCA's fundraising efforts, with our annual Springtime Luncheon & Fashion Show being our signature event. This highly anticipated community gathering attracts hundreds of attendees from across the Bay Area each year, raising significant funds and awareness for PARCA's crucial programs.


To date, the dedicated efforts of the PARCA Auxiliary have resulted in over $5.5 Million raised for PARCA. All proceeds from the Luncheon & Fashion Show, as well as other year-round fundraising initiatives, are directly invested in supporting PARCA's programs and empowering individuals within our community.


PARCA's Programs

Our Impact

The funds raised by the Auxiliary are crucial for enabling the PARCA Organization to deliver a comprehensive range of vital programs and services. These programs create an extended family atmosphere, fostering self-confidence and skill development to empower clients to achieve their goals and reach their full potential for happiness and independence. PARCA also offers valuable family support services and activities.


PARCA's comprehensive program offerings include: 


  • Family Support Services: Parents and families receive individualized support and help with planning, problem solving, and navigating service delivery systems to obtain needed services. 
  • Reach Childcare: Before and after-school childcare for children with and without developmental disabilities. Our smaller student-to-staff ratio allows for more individualized support and a higher level of care for all children.
  • Community Living Options: Designed for those who live independently in the community. CLO provides individualized living skills training and support to help clients gain the skills and knowledge necessary for daily independent living.
  • Independent Living Skills Training: Residents receive independent living skills training in order to enhance skills such as personal care tasks, budget management, job readiness, socialization skills, and more.
  • Shared Living Homes: PARCA provides affordable shared independent living residences. These residences provide much-needed accessible and affordable housing in safe and convenient neighborhoods.
  • Licensed Group Homes: For adults who live semi-independently with staff support. There is a staff to client ratio of one to three on weekdays from 3PM-10PM, on-site overnight staff, and 24-hour supervision on weekends.
