ABOUT SUNSHINE SERVICES:

Sunshine Services, most recently known as The Arc Knox County, has been a beacon of hope and innovation since its founding in 1952. Driven by a group of passionate parents, professionals, and advocates, the organization began as the Knox County Council for Retarded Children. In 1953, it became a nonprofit, and by 1964, our name has evolved to reflect our expanded mission to serve not just children, but adults as well. From the earliest days, Sunshine Services championed the rights of those with disabilities, creating opportunities where none existed.

In 2024, Sunshine Services officially rebranded, signaling its continued evolution and dedication to empowering individuals with IDD. Today, the organization stands as a leader in person-centered supports, offering an array of programs—from residential and recreational services to innovative employment opportunities. With a rich history of advocacy, innovation, and impact, Sunshine Services remains steadfast in its mission: promote independence, inclusion, and empowerment to reach a personal vision of happiness and life satisfaction.
