Pairs of high-quality sneakers donated to local children since 2016.
Reliant Community Credit Union has, for many years, been one of The Arc Wayne’s biggest supporters. Their financial contributions have helped The Arc of Wayne Foundation create opportunities for thousands of individuals with disabilities in our community throughout the years. But more than their financial partnership, the staff at Reliant have always been welcoming and inclusive whenever the individuals we support go into their local branch for help – many are even greeted by name when they walk inside. At The Arc Wayne, we are thankful for the personal and corporate investments Reliant makes in our local communities.
Feet Forward
The ability to get outside and run around isn’t just a lot of fun. For a child, it’s an important part of health and well-being.
That’s why in 2016, Reliant launched the Feet Forward program. We partner with Rochester Running Company to buy high-quality sneakers, then donate these to our community. In partnership with local schools, we distribute them to elementary-aged children who could use a great pair of shoes.
Check out our Feet Forward video, and learn more about the donations we made in 2023 in our latest press release about Feet Forward.
Moore than a Race
In 2010, we started a 5K fundraiser to raise additional money for our scholarship program. Since its inception, the race has raised over $147,500 to support our scholarship program.
Scholarships for high school and college students
Each year, we award scholarships of up to $3,000 to high school and college students who exemplify the credit union philosophy, “people helping people.”
helping people achieve more program
Every year, employees are allotted $100 each to donate to organizations or small businesses that could benefit from community support. We encourage our employees to actively engage with their communities and seek opportunities to make a difference.
“It’s great to be given the chance to support a local organization of our choice. I appreciate working for a company that values its employees and the community.”
