Riverwood Center, a community mental health care provider in southwest Michigan, used Access Perks to put $8,395 back in their team’s pockets in just four months.

Why This Matters

Riverwood Center provides mental health and substance use services to residents of Berrien County, Michigan. Like most government entities, the budget is tight, salaries are capped by funding cycles, and the team leans on its mission to retain talent.

The problem: the cost of groceries, entertainment, dining, and travel kept rising. Riverwood needed a way to give staff real, recurring financial relief.

The solution: Access Perks launched to 192 Riverwood Center employees with a simple promise — make every dollar go further. No complicated process. Just discounts on the things people were already buying: dinner, shopping, a rental car for a trip home. Four months in the results say everything.
