In an era where dedication and longevity are increasingly rare, milestones like those celebrated by Executive Director Steve Cook of Arc Mercer stand as beacons of unwavering commitment. Recently, Arc Mercer commemorated Steve's remarkable 17-year tenure as Executive Director with a campaign both symbolic and impactful.
The initiative was simple yet profound: a call for unity and support within the Arc Mercer family. The organization rallied its community around a 17-day fundraising campaign, urging each member to contribute $17 in honor of Steve's service that would support the Employee Relief Fund. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary.
Over the course of those 17 days, the Arc Mercer community banded together to raise an impressive $3,091.32. This collective effort not only demonstrated the depth of appreciation for Steve's leadership but also underscored the organization's unwavering commitment to its employees.
This commitment extends far beyond celebratory campaigns. Since July 2023, Arc Mercer has disbursed a total of $15,409.29 through its Employee Relief Fund, providing crucial support to staff members facing financial hardships. As of today, the fund stands at an impressive $24,856.88, a testament to Arc Mercer's ongoing dedication to the well-being of its employees.
But the true value of the Employee Relief Fund lies not just in its numbers but in the tangible impact it has on the lives of Arc Mercer's staff. Whether facing unexpected medical expenses, housing insecurities, or other financial challenges, employees can find solace and support through this vital resource.
