That spirit was on full display this past weekend as Arc GLOW partnered with community volunteers to make a meaningful impact. The celebration began with Le Roy Rotary Club volunteering alongside Arc GLOW\u2019s Prevocational Services program to clean up the Park & Ride on Route 19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Withum CPA generously provided seven volunteers to help with yard clean-up at four of Arc GLOW\u2019s Batavia residential homes as part of their Withum Week of Caring, an annual corporate-wide initiative where employees volunteer their time to support local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arc GLOW extends their heartfelt gratitude not only to the Le Roy Rotary Club and Withum CPA but to the community members and volunteers helping support the agency. In 2025 alone, the agency had a total of 168 volunteers contributing their time and talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
