    We were happy to take part in two “Pathway to Incl We were happy to take part in two “Pathway to Inclusion” events Thursday at @fredoniau. These low-key, non-traditional career fairs were designed for students with disabilities and other exceptionalities. Terri Johnson, pictured center, our Director of Employment and Community-Based Services, gave a presentation. Afterward, students had the opportunity to speak with Terri and Lynne Newman, left, Employment Services Administrator, as well as Amanda Santiago Rivera, right, from our Human Resources Office. The events gave students the chance to gently talk about careers and practice job conversations. And in a session presented by John Robinson of @ourabilityinc, students learned practical strategies for self-advocacy and confidence building; workplace accessibility and accommodations; and navigating internships, employment and next steps. It was a worthwhile afternoon, and we’re grateful to @fredoniacareerdevelopment and the university’s Disability Support Services for including us.
    This week our “Employee Spotlight” shines on Cheye This week our “Employee Spotlight” shines on Cheyenne Walters, the Employee of the Month in our Employment and Community-Based Services. Cheyenne was honored for engaging two people to participate in our Community Habilitation Program. Prior to Cheyenne, it had been difficult to pair staff with the two individuals, and as a result they would not leave their homes when it was time for Community Hab. With Cheyenne’s support, the two now go out into the community, have found new hobbies and have discovered places they enjoy visiting. Cheyenne previously worked in one of our homes, and she has maintained relationships with the people she supported in the home and is an advocate for one of them. She is pictured holding her award alongside Ashley Russell, Community Services Manager. Congratulations, Cheyenne, and thanks for developing meaningful relationships with those you support! #TRCFamily #TeamTRC #HeroesWorkHere #MakingADifference #MoreThanWork
    We were saddened to learn of the passing of a form We were saddened to learn of the passing of a former employee, Kevin Saff. Before moving on to leadership roles with several area organizations that provide health care and senior services, Kevin worked for a few years at The Resource Center. His time with us included serving as the Manager of our Environmental Services division. We extend our condolences to Kevin’s family and wish them strength during this difficult time. You can read more about Kevin and view details of his visitation at https://www.falconerfuneralhome.net/obituaries/Kevin-A-Saff?obId=48116656.
    Continuing our shout-outs to local businesses that Continuing our shout-outs to local businesses that have supported our INVESTU program during this year’s workshop sessions, this time we thank Sandee's Bakery & Deli. Sandee’s generously provided two sets of meals for our INVESTU participants and the program facilitators. THANK YOU, Sandee’s! With financial support from @unitedwaychq, The Resource Center has operated INVESTU workshops since 2021. The program really works. So far, 31 people have graduated from the program. In doing so, they’ve improved not only their own lives but also their community, since INVESTU graduates volunteer at local human service organizations. We’d like to expand the INVESTU program and assist more people in breaking the cycle of poverty. To do that, we need support from local businesses. So we’re reaching out to caterers and restaurants to see if they’d be willing to provide free meals for one of this year’s class sessions, which run until June. If your business would like to help, phone Steve Waterson at 716-483-2344, ext. 90135.
    We wish to inform everyone that our CHQ Plus store We wish to inform everyone that our CHQ Plus store will be ceasing operations at the end of today, April 15. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community for the incredible support shown to CHQ Plus throughout its operation. Your encouragement, collaboration and patronage have made it possible for us to create meaningful opportunities that align with the employment goals of people with disabilities. Through CHQ Plus, we have proudly partnered with many talented local vendors, showcasing their skills, creativity and dedication. Together, we built something truly special — an inclusive space that celebrates ability, entrepreneurship and community connection. We are deeply appreciative of all that has been accomplished. The decision to close the store was not made lightly, and we are incredibly grateful for the relationships, experiences and successes we have shared along the way. Among the organizations that made CHQ possible, we especially want to thank the Gebbie Foundation, @crcfonline and @chqchamber for providing the support and resources that enabled us to operate the store. Thank you for standing with us, supporting our mission and helping to create opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen our community. The impact of your support will continue to be felt far beyond our closing.
