Arcus Gives Back
Community outreach initiative benefits local mission
HARRISBURG, Pa. (May 4, 2010) – Arcus, an international talent management and enterprise solutions company announced today that their community outreach initiative, Arcus Gives Back, again benefited Bethesda Mission this week.
The team headed out late Monday morning decked out in brightly colored tie dyed shirts in an effort to meet the needs of Bethesda Mission, a local rescue mission that provides shelter, a health clinic, support services, after school and summer programs for inner city youth and street outreach. The corporate staff was divided into teams and spent the better part of the day tackling a variety of projects including purchasing and preparing lunch for the clients and the Arcus staff, spackling, sanding, painting, landscaping and setting up age-appropriate rooms for infants, toddlers and students at two of Bethesda Mission’s facilities.
“It is such a great experience when our entire team can band together to help a great organization like Bethesda Mission,” said Cindy Rutz, Vice President of HR and Corporate Culture. “Although we have partnered with them on many occasions, we continue to feel touched by what they do and the lives that are impacted.”
President and CEO of Arcus, R. Douglas Firestone, has made a commitment to partner with and support Bethesda Mission on a long-term basis to make a positive impact on the greater Harrisburg area community. From the annual Arcus Can Hunger food drive campaign to spending time throughout the year at the Mission’s various facilities assisting with construction projects, sorting donations in the distribution center, landscaping, cooking and cleaning, babysitting and even IT support, it is a corporate-wide effort and an initiative that occurs several times throughout the year and as specific needs are brought to Arcus’ attention.
