Al Sigl Community Al Sigl Community of Agencies is a collaborative community network of independent human service agenc And we’re still going strong.

Our Community of Agencies is in every way rooted in Rochester and its surrounding communities. The full offering of services we make possible has helped children and adults with special needs to realize a better standard of living for over half a century. Founded in 1962 with one "dream home" on Elmwood Avenue, the Al Sigl Community has grown to encompass six campuses. Today we are proud to serve a dynamic group of key care and rehabilitative channels in communities throughout Monroe County. Everything we do stands on the idea that the combined power of many generates greater power together.

🎃 The best morning of the year is nearly here! Today’s is from Jen, mom to Ben and Laine. Ben is known for his creative costume ideas – including last year's #1 Fan. We can’t wait to see this year’s theme!

🍬 Along with candy and costumes, WalkAbout is an event where everyone feels like they belong. Says Jen:

“We love going to the WalkAbout because it is truly inclusive of all ages and abilities, offering everyone the chance to enjoy fun, engaging activities, collect treats and special trinkets—including those who don’t eat in traditional ways—and celebrate creativity through the amazing costume contest."

Registration starts at 8:30AM at Eastview Mall. The event kicks off at 9AM. Or pre-registering using this link, it’s FREE:

National Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the history, cultures and contributions of the U.S. Hispanic and Latino communities. This year’s theme, “Together, We Are More – Unidos, Somos Más,” echoes our own commitment to collaboration and inclusion.

We believe that by embracing diverse traditions, we build a stronger, more inclusive community where everyone feels valued and connected.

Our Fall newsletter, arriving in mailboxes now, features the stories of several individuals and families taking part in Al Sigl Member Agency programs. You may remember “Lani’s” story from our 2025 Independence Day campaign.

This summer, our friends at Rochester Hearing & Speech Center (RHSC), watched her walk through the doors at the Golisano Campus at Elmwood for the last time.

When Lani first came to RHSC around the age of two, she shuffled instead of crawling or trying to stand and had limited speech. The strides she made once she began attending RHSC made a significant impact on getting her ready to start preschool this Fall.

“What drew me to participating in the WalkAbout the first time, and what has brought me back year after year, is seeing the joy that inclusion and accessibility bring. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have fun, to be seen, and to know that they belong and this event does it all!”

Today's quote is from Kelly, shown here on the left volunteering at the Explore Victor Fest last month with Kristin. Some volunteers help with planning and helping to raise awareness leading up to the event, like Kelly and Kristin. Others join us at Eastview to help hand out candy, host activity tables, and share smiles with friends of all ages and abilities. To all the volunteers who give their time and energy each year—thank you! We are so grateful for all that you do! 🙌

We can't believe WalkAbout is just over a week away now! Register today for this FREE, accessible Halloween celebration for all ages. Then join us on Sunday, October 18th inside Eastview Mall for a morning of candy, costumes, and community impact!

We are thrilled to share that the Theodore and Cashmere Mendick Foundation has been selected to receive the Outstanding Foundation Award at this year’s National Philanthropy Day celebration! 🎉

For nearly four decades, the Foundation has quietly and generously invested in organizations that strengthen the Greater Rochester community — supporting education, health care, human services, music, and opportunities that improve quality of life for so many.

At Al Sigl Community of Agencies, we have been fortunate to experience that generosity firsthand. The Mendick family’s connection to our mission is deeply personal, and their support has extended far beyond philanthropy to include years of volunteer leadership, advocacy, friendship, and a shared commitment to creating a community where people of all abilities can thrive.

We were incredibly proud to nominate the Theodore and Cashmere Mendick Foundation for this recognition and even more delighted to see their extraordinary legacy of giving celebrated by the AFP Genesee Valley Chapter.

Congratulations to the Mendick family on this well-deserved honor! 💚

🧡✨ Today's story is from Kristin, a volunteer who loves spreading the word about Al Sigl's accessible, indoor Halloween event coming up on Oct. 18th.

While there is no cost to attend the event, individuals and teams can choose to raise funds for one, or all, of Al Sigl's nonprofit Member Agencies. Kristin raises funds for the Upstate NY Chapter of the National MS Society.

“I walk because there are so many people that can't—and as a person living with MS, I know there are days that I can't. Being able to see the smiles and spread joy is worth every second," Kristin says, "Knowing that some of the money raised will help the MS Society means the world to me. The outreach, programs, and fundraising the MS Society does remind us that there is help for us no matter what point we are at in our disease.”

👉Ready to join Kristin and help make a difference in the lives of over 55,000 children and adults served on our campuses each year? Visit the link below to make a donation in support of one Member Agency, or the entire Al Sigl Community.
