In the heart of every organization lies its people—the dedicated individuals whose passion and commitment drive its mission forward. At Arc Mercer, we recognize the invaluable contributions of our staff who tirelessly work towards our shared goal of enhancing the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). It is their unwavering dedication that propels us to reach new heights and achieve meaningful impact within our community.
Recently, we were deeply touched by the generosity of one of our esteemed board members, Janice Van Deusen. Janice's heartfelt donation to our Employee Relief Fund serves as a testament to her appreciation for the hard work and dedication demonstrated by our staff each day. Her contribution not only embodies the spirit of giving but also underscores the profound impact that collective support can have on those facing challenging times.
The Employee Relief Fund is a lifeline for Arc Mercer staff who find themselves navigating financial hardships. It is a beacon of hope, offering up to $500 in support to employees in need, without the burden of repayment. This fund, made possible through voluntary staff donations, external sources, stakeholders, and agency contributions, reflects our commitment to fostering a supportive and compassionate work environment.
Janice Van Deusen's donation exemplifies the sentiment shared by many within our organization—that our staff members are our greatest asset. Her generosity is a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and supporting the individuals who drive our mission forward. Through her act of kindness, Janice not only uplifts our staff but also reinforces the sense of community and teamwork that defines Arc Mercer.
In her own words, Janice expressed, "This is in honor of our staff at all levels, whose dedication to the Arc Mission has resulted in statewide recognition of The Arc Mercer, as well as the consistent enhancement of the quality of life for those it serves." Her words encapsulate the profound impact of our staff's commitment and the ripple effect it has on the individuals we support and the broader community.
To our staff: your dedication does not go unnoticed. You are the driving force behind our success, and we are committed to supporting you through both triumphs and challenges. If you find yourself in need of assistance, know that the Employee Relief Fund is here to provide support and solidarity during difficult times.
