On August 25th, approximately 30 ViewPlus employees came together and braved the upper ninety degree weather to participate in the United Way's Day of Caring event. This year we helped local charitable organization, Home Life Inc. who assists people with developmental disabilities enjoy active, productive and independent lives. The actual Day of Caring is scheduled for September 22nd, however due to conflicting schedules we were able to make arrangements to participate early and have the biggest work crew possible.
We arrived onsite to a home donated to Home Life Inc. by the Teater family. The work consisted of weeding their garden, landscaping, deep-cleaning of the interior, painting the exterior of the home, and even gave some of our engineers the opportunity for a little demolition! Needless to say, there was ample opportunity for everyone to participate!
The event was a great success on multiple levels. First, we really enjoyed doing what we could to help out our local community and we all had a great time; it brought us closer together and was a great team building environment. Who knew all those could go hand-in-hand! We really look forward to helping out our community again in the future!
A special thanks to all of the coordinators at United Way and Home Life. We really appreciate all or your hospitality and flexibility.
