🎉 Congratulations to Freddie Williamson, Residence Manager, the Employee of the Month in June! 🌟 Freddie spends time with each person and makes sure they feel included.

🧡 We're joining our fellow chapters of The Arc New York by participating in 75 Acts of service in communities across the state in recognition of The Arc New York's 75th Anniversary. 💪 Yesterday, our Venture program pitched in to clean the Clark Mills Fire Department. It's our privilege to support Clark Mills's bravest who do so much to keep our communities safe. The teamwork and hard work displayed were something to behold. #75actsofservice #StrongerTogether #givingback #community
