Spotlight on our Janitorial Program at 2643 Main Street Specialized Workforce Training Center:

Individuals in our Janitorial program worked on skills during a recent training class. Cleanliness and safety couldn’t be more important. Janitorial careers are an essential part of our lives. In this training, individuals get the opportunity to learn safety measures, what daily responsibilities look like, skills needed to operate and maintain equipment, and working with local businesses to gain on-the-job experience, ensuring buildings and areas are clean and safe for all. Having this entry level experience and knowledge will assist in ensuring participants are prepared to enter and thrive in the janitorial and custodial workforce.

Everything we do at The Arc is driven by one core belief: people with disabilities deserve to live, learn, work, and thrive in their communities.

From early intervention to independent living and advocacy to direct support, our new video captures what our work looks like in action across our chapter network. It’s real, it’s personal, and it’s the kind of story that reminds us why this work matters.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that came out for the Groundbreaking Ceremony for our main building at Black Water Acres. We are so excited for the endless possibilities for the property and future programming. Black Water Acres will be an accessible, four-season farm, and community hub in Alden.

The Main Building is just Phase one of the total property plan. At 12,000 sq ft with a commercial teaching kitchen, program space, and community areas for shared use with our neighboring senior housing it promotes community and inclusion. Future plans include an art building, farmers market area, walking trails, sensory spaces, a field house, and more.

With over 70 people in attendance, it was a great showing today for this important project. We were glad to have NY (60th District) Senator Patrick Gallivan and staff, a representative from Erie County Legislator (District 8 ) Legislator Frank Todaro's office, and a representative from NY Assemblyman (District 147) Assemblyman David DiPietro's office in attendance today. Speeches from our CEO, Doug DiGesare; Board Chair, Patrick Young; Developer and Donor of the Land, Glenn Wetzl; and Senator Gallivan kicked us off before the shovels hit the dirt.

This remarkable project wouldn't be possible without the incredible generosity of board member Glenn Wetzl and his wife, Cynthia for donating the 150 acres of property and a donation of 2 million dollars from the Golisano Foundation.
