The Arc of Wilson County

The Arc of Wilson County is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that promotes and supports activities in Wilson County that benefit the lives of citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) living in the community;

  • To support the activities of the state and national organizations;
  • To work within the Wilson County community to develop programs that will benefit the citizens with I/DD;
  • To further develop programs to benefit all citizens with I/DD.

We achieve this mission through social programs designed to promote inclusion, advocacy, and self-confidence for all our participants, ages 0 to 99, and their caregivers.

The Wilson Gobble Wobble

  • The Wilson Gobble Wobble is our annual fundraiser. All proceeds benefit The Arc of Wilson County and its programs. 
  • The Wilson Gobble Wobble 5K and 1-mile family fun run, walk, or wobble is open to people of ALL AGES & ABILITIES.
  • The Wilson Gobble Wobble started as a way for families to start Thanksgiving with a little exercise together so they can enjoy guilt-free turkey (or any other Thanksgiving meal) during the holiday.
