United Way Day of Caring
May 2025
We were honored to once again support the United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes during their annual Day of Caring. This year, our team spent the day volunteering at Nativity Preparatory Academy, a truly inspiring school in the heart of Rochester.
We rolled up our sleeves to help beautify their outdoor spaces — pulling weeds, gardening, and spreading mulch to help create a welcoming environment for students, staff, and the surrounding neighborhood.
It was such a meaningful experience — not only did we get to give back to our community, but we also had the chance to meet some of the incredible staff and students who make Nativity Prep so special. As a bonus, we were treated to a special performance by the school’s choir, which made the day even more memorable. Thank you to United Way and Nativity Prep for the opportunity to serve and connect.
United Way Day of Caring
May 2024
We had a great time helping The Arc of Monroe last week for United Way’s Day of Caring. Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) Committee coordinated the raking, mulching, and clean-up efforts to spruce up the organization’s Norran Dr. and Homewood Lane locations. It was a beautiful day and our team worked hard to help a wonderful organization.
Thanks to U&K’s Leah Tarantino Cintineo, Melissa Henderson, Alex Wezelis, Roman Martyniv, Pamela Litto, and Hannah Prescott for volunteering.
