Team Home Depot making a difference
Most of us spend our Friday afternoons watching the clock eagerly awaiting a well-deserved weekend rest. This wasn't the case for a contingent of 15 Home Depot employees who dropped by the Southside Community Centre and set their energies towards erecting a storage shed and playground fence. The building supplies chain annually conducts four such community initiatives that meet the criteria, which states the project supports children's play spaces, disaster relief, affordable housing and the environment. Assistant store manager Peter Sparling said there's no shortage of volunteers, which includes management, full-time and part-time employees, many of whom came during their off-shift or had to return to their job later that day. "It's giving back to our community," said Mr. Sparling. "We have fun doing it and we never have an issue with people signing up." This project will enhance the children's play area operated by the Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (PMFRC). Last year "Team Home Depot", as they are called, painted the PMFRC drop-in centre on the base's northside. The non-profit agency is extremely grateful for the assistance, said Maureen Fitzgerald, manager of children's services. "It's amazing how they've rallied around and provided support for this," she said. "It seems like a little thing but it's not. "This is big time community spirit." The $2,500 project was partially funded by the manufacturers that Home Depot services. "They're willing to donate to the projects, so it's a real partnership," added Mr. Sparling. This coming year, the volunteers plan to work on improvements to the entrance of the Petawawa Public Library, the Shady Nook Recreation Centre and aid the Salvation Army Food Drive. In between grabbing a spot of shade and a glass of water, the volunteers seemed pleased with their efforts, namely moving the perimeter of the playground back 22 feet and installing the 10-foot high shed. "It's a lot to coordinate, but you get a lot of people helping," said team captain Joanne Conway, who was supervising the project. "It's a wonderful feeling." http://www.thedailyobserver.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1098245 |
