In less than five years, RC Cares has reached an incredible milestone: the program has raised more than $1 million to benefit communities across the country. While it began with a goal that Ron Wallace, Director of RC Cares, set in 2018, it was the result of hundreds, maybe even thousands, of people coming together. “To be able to do it in less than five years is a testament to the heart of this company,” Ron says.

BY KAREN BLISS

Jared Gibney, a former Store Manager in Arcade, New York, received a phone call one afternoon from his fiancé. The news was not good; his house was on fire. “When I arrived home, the house was engulfed in flames, and we sat there for about two hours and watched our house burn,” he says. Jared says it was a draining experience, and after talking with the Red Cross and the fi re chief about the damage, their family was informed everything they owned was lost…
