The Community Partner Award is presented to a business or organization that demonstrates ongoing commitment to multiple service areas of Helping Hand Center. Nyco, a premier manufacturer of specialty cleaning chemicals and sanitary maintenance brands, has been a long-time customer of Helping Hand Center's workshop program, providing work and income for dozens of clients each year. They also participate in customized employment, hiring clients from HHC for tailored positions within their company. In addition, Nyco team members have performed summer service projects to clean out and resupply classrooms in HHC’s School for Children with Autism.

“We’re thankful to have such a wonderful neighbor in our community that has partnered with us in various ways,” said Amy Moran, Senior Programs Officer of Helping Hand Center. “Nyco has offered the full spectrum of giving to our agency, including needed products, business know-how and volunteer time. We’re very grateful to everyone at Nyco.” 

“At Nyco, we believe there’s more to business than just making money,” said Bob Starhurski, President and CEO. “It’s an opportunity to give back to the community by helping other organizations build and grow. We are honored to partner with the good work Helping Hand Center is doing and thrilled to receive this recognition from them.”
