On October 25th, Dearborn O'Kelley Council #3860 once again helped The Arc Dearborn by beautifying their grounds. Working with saws, hedge trimmers and hand tools, the council removed two dumpsters full of trees, branches, trimmings and weeds.

 

The Arc Dearborn is an adult with disability counseling and rehabilitation organization, serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1954. It is funded via the MI-Drive, the Father Patrick O'Kelley Charity golf outing, and with volunteer projects like this one.

 

This was not the council's first project for The Arc this year. Earlier in 2026, Council #3860 sponsored a project to refurbish The Arc Dearborn's outdoor sign.

Thank you to the Brother Knights of Dearborn O'Kelley Council #3860 for putting their faith into action and serving our neighbors at The Arc Dearborn!
