First Financial was thrilled to recently attend the Richcroft Kahlert Café Ribbon Cutting Ceremony! The Kahlert Café is an inclusive community café that hires individuals with disabilities and trains them in food and customer service, all while in a supportive environment.

This initiative was made possible through Richcroft, who has been a proud partner of First Financial for 5 years. Through First Financial’s sponsorship of the Kahlert Café initiative, they were able to build a welcoming space that empowers individuals with disabilities to gain the skills and confidence to thrive in the workforce.

It was a great day for everyone involved, and we’re so excited to see these individuals learn and grow in an environment built to support them!

First Financial had a blast at our partner, The League for People with Disabilities, Inc.’s PRIDE Parade! Our team was honored to serve as a guest judge for the float parade and sponsor the Kona Ice Truck as a treat for the hot summer day!

Departments from The League were challenged to design and create a miniature float that embodied the spirit of diversity, equity, and inclusion in support of their colleagues neighbors, family members and friends. Floats were awarded for “The Most Loving Float,” “The Happiest Float,” “The Most Welcoming Float,” and “Best Use of a Rainbow Float!”

The League for People with Disabilities supports youth and adults with disabilities and their families through a variety of services and programs. They’re committed to offering individuals the opportunity to gain independence, increase self-sufficiency, and lead fulfilling lives.
