On the day before Veterans’ Day, from 8 am - 1 pm, about 40 Honeywell volunteers are putting their muscles to work to show their appreciation to Arizona veterans for putting their lives on the line. They are gathering at the Arizona State Veteran Home to transform an old bath area into a library & card room. The volunteers will also overhaul an outside patio area at the Home into a shaded, wheelchair-accessible garden for the residents. In addition, Honeywell is making a $5,000 contribution to the Veteran Home to help provide additional recreational equipment.
It’s all a part of Honeywell’s Hometown Solutions program aimed at making life better in our community. Since Sept. 2003, more than 2,000 Honeywell volunteers have repaired more than 150 homes & community centers across America, including the Chandlers Boys & Girls Club, the Phoenix Youth at Risk, & the De Colores shelter for battered women.
What better way to remember Veterans’ Day 2007 than to provide reading & relaxation areas for the veterans who live at the Arizona State Veteran Home?
The Arizona State Veteran Home is located at 4141 N. 3rd St., in Phoenix (north of 3rd St. & Indian School Road, via entrance of Steele Indian School Park).
