Celebrating a Milestone: Living and Learning Receives Grant from Relentless Care Foundation

by | Oct 18, 2024

We’re overjoyed to share some exciting news! The Living and Learning Enrichment Center has been awarded a generous grant from the Relentless Care Foundation, an organization established by Community Financial Credit Union (CFCU). This grant will play a vital role in supporting our community-based vocational training program for adults with disabilities.

Empowering Through Opportunity

At Living and Learning, we believe in the power of opportunity. Every day, we witness the incredible potential of individuals with disabilities as they develop essential job skills and overcome barriers to employment. This grant of $8,000 from the Relentless Care Foundation will directly fund the wages of our dedicated job coaches and job development teams.

These passionate professionals work hand-in-hand with our members, helping them learn valuable skills and secure meaningful employment across a wide range of industries. With over 100 business partnerships in southeast Michigan, we’re creating real-world experiences that build confidence, foster social connections, and pave the way for independence.

A Shared Vision for Community Prosperity

The Relentless Care Foundation, launched in December 2023, shares our commitment to creating a more equitable community where everyone can thrive. Their mission to magnify equitable systems in Michigan communities aligns perfectly with our goals at Living and Learning.

This grant, which falls under the Foundation’s “Community Mobility” philanthropic pillar, is a testament to the power of collaboration. It reflects both Living and Learning’s ongoing dedication to providing essential resources for individuals with disabilities and their families, and CFCU’s long-standing care for the communities they serve.

Looking Ahead

As the demand for our services continues to grow, partnerships like this one with the Relentless Care Foundation become increasingly important. They enable us to meet the evolving needs of our region and continue building a community where every individual has the opportunity to contribute their unique talents and abilities.

We’re immensely grateful for the support of the Relentless Care Foundation and their belief in our mission. Together, we’re creating a future where independence, autonomy, and a sense of belonging are within reach for all.

Stay tuned for updates on how this grant will help us expand our impact and create even more success stories in the months to come!
