A huge thank you to our incredible friends at Regeneron for participating in their annual "Day for Doing Good" at Living Resources! This day is an annual, week-long global employee volunteer initiative where workers step away from their labs, offices, and manufacturing sites to give back to local communities.
Volunteers spent their time refreshing and repainting the interiors of two Living Resources residential homes, creating bright, welcoming spaces that truly feel like home. When asked why he gives back, one volunteer happily stated, “It strengthens the community and has a positive change for Living Resources.”
By generously sharing their time and energy, the Regeneron team showed what community spirit is all about—brightening the lives of the individuals we support, one brush stroke at a time!

We're back with the Art Program and continuing their journey into the art of cooking! This week, they learned how to make spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread in the Honest Weight Food Co-op teaching kitchen.
Thank you so much to Chef Donnie for generously donating his time to teach the class, and to Honest Weight Food Co-op for donating the space so the individuals we support can explore their love for cooking while learning practical skills for an independent life.

This month, Living Resources officially opened its newest After School Program site at North Albany Middle School (NAMS), marking the culmination of two years of dedicated planning and effort. The opening was made even more meaningful as we welcomed two students transitioning from our Albany School of Humanities (ASH) program as our very first participants at NAMS. We look forward to growing our program and welcoming more students in the coming weeks.
Our program provides students with a safe, fun, and welcoming environment where they can engage in arts and crafts, build with blocks, play games, and build friendships. This supportive setting gives parents total peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring hands while they complete their workday.
We currently operate three days per week, with plans to expand to five days as additional staff members join our team. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Albany City School District for their invaluable collaboration and support throughout this journey, and we are excited about the lasting impact this partnership will have on the NAMS community.
