Thank you River City Domestic Violence Center "We Believe" for all that you do for the community!
A big shoutout goes to Esteban Lopez Perez and his crew for making this happen! We are grateful for your hard work and dedication to our team!
As we look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving next week, we have a TON to be thankful for this week. Most of all this crew right here!
A few weeks ago, a member HDR team working on the local waste water plant project reached out to us. He was inspired by what we were doing in the community and he wanted to help.
We identified this sidewalk project as the perfect fit. HDR leadership approved, and John T. Jones Construction Co., the general contractor on the wastewater project, generously donated their crew’s time.
Because of their teamwork, the entrance families use to access shelter is now fully wheelchair accessible, safer, and free of tripping hazards. And because HDR took full ownership of the project from start to finish, it required no extra coordination on our end—a tremendous gift during an already busy and understaffed season.
As we approach Giving Tuesday, we invite you to follow the example of HDR and John T. Jones Construction. Consider how your expertise, trade, or industry could support a local nonprofit in meaningful, lasting ways.
Your skills can change someone’s world. 💛
