The Salvation Army of Ansonia, CT has received a massive makeover by CVC members during the annual United Way Week of Caring. Volunteers actively began their work on September 11th and completed most of the project on September 17, 2004.
Captains Brian and Claudia Geist of the Salvation Army were pleased and amazed with the renovation. They know that it will help them accomplish their overarching goals for the community by becoming the first soup kitchen in the Valley. Captain Brian believes that there is a, “Tremendous need in the Valley for a warm place for people to eat a good meal, especially in the cooler winter months and during the hot and humid summer. Our goal is to also reach the children in the families that we assist with food each month by providing youth with programs, a computer center and the skills they need to grow in service.”
Teams of Corporate Volunteer Council memberscame out in force to help meet the needs of the Salvation Army. Tim Gugino of OCI Chemical, headed the CVC’s efforts this year and is pleased with the effort made to, “Help the Salvation Army Officers receive the assistance that they needed to renovate their building.” Robert Van Egghen of Perkin Elmer noted that they were, “Seeking a few good men and women to serve as volunteers." Projects included painting, creating a new roof, demolishing the kitchen area, landscaping, fencing the area and finishing the basement to become a Soup Kitchen. Participants were kept well fed throughout the week and each received a special Week of Caring t-shirt thanks to the generous support of our sponsors.
We want to thank the sponsors and volunteers who made this year's project a success:
