Wow! What a legend!

In Ithaca, Chuck Tompkins, 80-year-old retired pastor and Racker Board of Director Emeritus - dubbed “the bishop of Ithaca” - is honored as a Hometown Hero after decades uniting churches, students and neighbors through service.

Chuck lives and breathes the community, from supporting Racker in many ways, to making a difference throughout the Ithaca area with many organizations - we're grateful for his friendship, generosity, and wisdom.

Thank you Chuck for your service and support in building a world where all people know they belong.

As we wrap up the week, let's not overlook some of our most vulnerable neighbors.

The I/DD community and their workforce deserve our advocacy and support.

Please join us in reminding lawmakers the importance of including the full 4% TII in the final New York State budget: https://bit.ly/4tm0hhk

05/22/2026

Our message is clear: funding for the I/DD care system must keep pace with demand. A full 4% TII is essential to sustain services, support staff, and ensure providers can continue to meet the needs of New Yorkers with I/DD.

Tell your legislators that the final budget must include the full 4% TII: https://bit.ly/4tm0hhk

I/DD providers continue to face detrimental staffing shortages and rising operating costs.

A full 4% TII in the final New York State budget would help greatly alleviate the burden on providers, staff, and the I/DD community.

We urge lawmakers to include the full 4% TII. Tell them here: https://bit.ly/4tm0hhk

Today you’ll find Racker at the Cortland Community Mental Health Walk at the Cortland County Fairgrounds!

The resource fair goes until noon, then join us for an awareness walk around town!

We may see a final New York State budget as soon as this week - meaning the time to act is now. A full 4% TII is imperative to stabilize I/DD services, support the workforce, and protect the progress providers have already made.

Please join us in reminding our legislators to keep the progress going: https://bit.ly/4tm0hhk
