On Thursday, April 19th
a group of 12 AT&T employees arrived at the Stepping Stone Shelter for
Women and rolled up their sleeves to make a difference. This group consisted
of employees from Wisconsin and Michigan that came to an AT&T meeting in Michigan City on Wednesday
and decided to complete a service project together before they left the area.
Teri Wozniak, one of the team, contacted the Volunteer Center
after finding the United Way
of Laporte’s
website, www.unitedwaylpc.org.
The Volunteer Center was able to arrange the project
for the Shelter where a few painted inside, while outside, others weeded,
edged, raked, and mulched the yard. Rosemary, Shelter Manager, stated, “we were
absolutely thrilled with all the work they were able to accomplish in 3 hours
and the yard is beautiful now….we can’t thank them enough”! If your company is
interested in building morale and giving back to the community by completing a
service project, contact Kathy at kathyb@unitedwaypc.org
