In recognition of Houston area community members who have supported the independence of individuals with special needs, The Arc of Texas and The Arc of Greater Houston were pleased to present the local Employer of the Year Award to Mr. Arnold Lopez of the Kroger Store # 312. Mr. Lopez and indeed the Kroger chain itself have done tremendous work in assuring that individuals with intellectual disabilities have success and meaningful compensation in the job arena.
