A Tradition of Giving Back

For the past six years, Profeta Painting and WCI Realty have partnered to host this annual backpack drive, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to supporting the Hillside Family of Agencies.

Hillside Family of Agencies: A Pillar of Support

Hillside Family of Agencies, with a rich history dating back to 1837, is one of the oldest non-profit human services organizations in Western and Central New York. Today, Hillside provides a comprehensive range of services, including community-based services, education, behavioral health, and residential treatment. Their mission is to help youth and families overcome challenges to heal and thrive within their communities.

Profeta Painting and WCI Realty: A Strong Partnership

Profeta Painting, a local business with a strong commitment to giving back, has teamed up with WCI Realty to make a significant impact on the lives of children and families in need. WCI Realty stands out as a premier real estate development and investment company rooted in Rochester, New York. With over four decades of experience, WCI Realty has established itself as a leading name in the development and construction of diverse real estate projects.

WCI Realty: A Community Partner Who Shares a Vision for Giving Back

WCI Realty’s portfolio spans from single-family residential communities and multi-family apartment complexes to maintenance-free townhome and patio home communities, senior living communities, and commercial properties. This breadth of expertise showcases WCI Realty’s commitment to providing a variety of lifestyle options and fostering strong community ties.

Like Profeta Painting, WCI Realty prides itself on its family-owned status, ensuring that every project undertaken is imbued with family values and a shared commitment to quality and trust. Also like Profeta Painting, WCI Realty has a deep commitment to the Rochester community. They love to give back and provide support and bring awareness to various organizations and causes in Rochester.

Backpack Drive: Lending a Hand to Hillside’s Children

Each summer, recognizing the need for community involvement and support, Profeta Painting and WCI Realty have embarked on an annual initiative to collect backpacks for the children at Hillside. This backpack drive is more than just a donation; it’s a symbol of hope and support for the children who live and reside at Hillside. It provides them with essential tools for their education and daily lives, not to mention cool and fun designs to make the “back-to-school” experience enjoyable for them.

This initiative reflects the understanding that a thriving community is built on a foundation of collective efforts. By providing these backpacks, Profeta Painting and WCI Realty are not only helping to meet a practical need but also showing these children that their community cares and supports them in their journey towards success and well-being.

A Yearly Tradition

The partnership between Profeta Painting, WCI Realty, and the Hillside Family of Agencies is a testament to what can be achieved when businesses and organizations come together with a shared vision of supporting and uplifting their community. It serves as an inspiring example for others to follow, highlighting the importance of giving back and working collectively to create a brighter future for all.
