Celebrating Inclusive Employment
The Arc Of Fayette County
December 30, 2025
October was National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a time to recognize the incredible contributions people with disabilities make in the workplace and in our communities. At Arc, Fayette we witness every day how the individuals we support bring dedication, skill, and pride to their jobs, showing the true value of inclusive employment. This month isn’t just about awareness, it’s about celebrating the talents of individuals who enrich our workforce and reminding us all that inclusion makes us stronger.
That impact is best told through the individuals themselves.

- Brian has been a part of the Arc Fayette Supported Employment program since 2016! He currently works 3 days a week at Uniontown Dairy Queen and has been employed there for 2 years. He feels proud to be at work!
- Evan has been proudly working at Panera in Uniontown for 2 years! His favorite part of the job? Filling the bubblers with iced tea and lemonade. He also enjoys making coffee for the customers, and getting the opportunity to talk to the guests.
- Tiffany has been working in the bakery department since 2021, and she has gotten very skilled at rolling pepperoni rolls and setting cookies.
