AHRC NASSAU TEAMS UPWITH ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE BOOKS TO UNDERPRIVILEGED Individuals at AHRC Nassau who volunteer with The Book Fairies — a nonprofit organization that collects reading materials for people in need throughout metropolitan New York — recently learned how to sort the books into categories at their sites. Sorting the books helps save valuable time and effort in the warehouse, getting the books into the hands of under- resourced communities quicker. AHRC Nassau also provides transportation to collect and distribute donated books to these communities. People supported by AHRC Day Services enjoy volunteering and sharing a love of reading across Long Island.
Bad Dog Boutique, a Division of The Arc Ontario run by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is hiring new dog groomers. To help with recruitment, Bad Dog Retail Assistant Cheyenne gave her pitch on social media to influence new employees to join the boutique. “We are looking for groomers at Bad Dog Boutique on Main Street in Canandaigua, NY, a Division of Ontario ARC, that helps support individuals with disabilities. It’s for individuals like myself to have a job just like anyone else. I love it! I’ve been working there for four years already as a retail assistant! If anyone has any grooming experience, including cutting nails, comment below!” Staff at The Arc Ontario were very proud of the initiative Cheyenne took to help with recruitment. Way to go, Cheyenne!
