We have a program helping Veterans in Kent County, and last month we posted a video about Chris, a Veteran who's roof we replaced. Last week the local news came out to interview Chris and Senator Gary Peters who's office recommended us to him. We're very proud of this program, and we're glad that Chris shared his story so other veterans can find us. His story: https://lnkd.in/eZNchitj

In building Accessibility Ramps for vulnerable Kent County residents, we collect a lot of left over pieces of wood too short for further ramp construction projects. So we devised a Bench Program to reduce landfill waste, and to generate additional funds for more wheelchair ramps. These Benches are handmade of sturdy deck wood, by volunteers in our cabinet shop.

We value our relationship with the folks at National Nail who came out last week to help build a Ramp. The ramp you helped construct enhances the homeowner's accessibility, safety and comfort. You contribution, generosity and willingness to help where it is needed most, has touched someone's heart deeply.
