Human Arc Community Service and Outreach

Since Human Arc's inception in 1984, community involvement and social responsibility are integral to our business success and fundamental to our thinking about our markets, our clients and the people they serve.

This commitment to the community is part of Human Arc's core values:
"We make a difference by loving and caring for people and communities." 

In the last seven years alone, Human Arc associates have contributed in excess of 13,000 paid work hours to community organizations, in addition to many hours of their own time.

Additionally, as one of its five major strategic goals, Human Arc works hard to be "admired in the marketplace for our social responsibility."

For its leadership in community involvement, Human Arc has been named the recipient of the prestigious Pillar Award for Community Service.

2011 Human Arc "Backpack Drive" Surpasses 2010 Drive by 60%!

August 25, 2011: For all five year since 2007, Human Arc Marketing Coordinator Alicia Burton has managed a selfless, time consuming summer drive among our associates to supply back-to-school backpacks and necessary school supplies to economically challenged, inner city children who otherwise would start back to elementary school with not even a pencil.  In 2010, Alicia and about 70 other Human Arc employees equipped about 870 children with supplies they needed to begin fall classes at Case Elementary and like inner city schools.

The big news is that Human Arc’s just-completed 2011 Back-to-school Backpack Drive will positively impact the lives of over 1,400 inner city children, 60% beyond last year’s record number!  This year’s phenomenal success includes school supplies for 375 Case Elementary School kids, plus supplies for hundreds more needy children in the cities of Cleveland, Garfield Heights, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, Bedford, Bedford Heights, Warrensville, etc.  In addition, the drive is providing over 500 large bottles of hand sanitizer, enough for every classroom at Marion-Sterling Elementary School and over 80 sets of new underwear for the use of kindergarten classes at A. J. Rickoff Elementary School!

The 2011 success pushes the total number of school-age children impacted in five years by the Human Arc Back-to-school Backpack Drive to 3,300, a remarkable achievement and one for which we owe a big debt of thanks to Alicia and all the other 70+ Human Arc associates and families who contributed with money and/or backpacks and supplies.

“Human Arc is all about experience, compassion and results," stated Alicia as she and her corps of helping Human arc associates counted backpacks and readied them for distribution. “The annual Human Arc Backpack Drive aims to better equip children to learn and grow.  It's a great way to use our experience and our compassion to produce results that really do bring quality-of-life improvement to our communities.  I'm just so grateful for the efforts of the many of our associates who have stepped forward to make this year's drive so successful.”

Hats off once again to Alicia and all the Human Arc associates who contributed their time, dollars and sweat to make the 2011 Back-to-school Backpack Drive a great success.
