Erie Shore Landing Ice Cream is a retail business of The Arc Wayne along the Erie Canal in Newark located at 50 East Ave. Every purchase made at Erie Shore Landing Ice Cream as well as adjacent Café, helps employ individuals with disabilities in the community.
WCNY’s Move to Include initiative began in July, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed July 26, 1990. WCNY is using its TV, radio, web, and social media platforms, and this special event to foster a dialogue of awareness, empathy, acceptance, and inclusion. The initiative aims to inspire people to embrace the abilities and contributions to community life of those who live with disabilities.
National Funding for the “Move to Include” initiative is powered by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
