Safelite’s Story

The Safelite Long Island team supports local families through two annual SCO Family of Services programs that closely align with Safelite’s commitment to provide safety, stability, and a sense of belonging to the foster care community: our Holiday Wishlist and Back-to-School initiatives.

The Holiday Wishlist initiative supports families during the holiday season by fulfilling specific gift requests for children and caregivers, helping to ensure they can experience a joyful and meaningful holiday.

The Back-to-School initiative focuses on preparing children for a successful school year by providing essential items such as backpacks, school supplies, and age-appropriate resources.

Safelite supports both initiatives through generous donations, which help us purchase and distribute these much-needed items. Their support plays a vital role in helping us meet the needs of the families we serve during these meaningful times of the year.

Partnering with an organization that so powerfully uplifts communities reflects our shared belief that through fostering change together, everyone can overcome challenges with a clear road ahead.

Stephen Rich’s Story

SCO Family of Services is proud to shine this month’s Donor Spotlight on Mr. Stephen Rich, Chairman, CEO and President of Mutual of America Financial Group, and a steadfast champion of our mission.

At our recent Inspiration Ball, we had the distinct honor of presenting Mr. Rich with the Corporate Leadership Award, recognizing not only his outstanding professional achievements but also his unwavering commitment to giving back. Under his leadership, Mutual of America continues to be a devoted partner of SCO Family of Services, offering decades of support that have helped shape brighter futures for the children, families, and communities we serve.

The values of compassion, responsibility, and community that Mr. Rich and his colleagues stand by are deeply aligned with our own. Mutual of America has long believed in the power of investing in people, and its dedication to social impact has left an indelible mark on our work. Whether through corporate philanthropy, strategic partnership, or personal advocacy, Mr. Rich and the company consistently go above and beyond to support SCO’s mission of helping New Yorkers build the foundation for lasting success.

We are beyond grateful for the leadership of Mr. Rich and the entire Mutual of America family. Their partnership exemplifies what’s possible when purpose and business unite in service to others.

Thank you, Mr. Rich, for being a true inspiration and for helping SCO carry forward a legacy of care, opportunity, and hope.
