6/19/18 - Thank you Under Armour & Southway Builders!

On this very hot day, TLD was VERY lucky to have not one, but TWO super helpful teams of volunteers!

Under Armour started the day off with re-organizing and stacking bricks, and cleaning up our front lot. They also helped us unbox and sort new cabinets!

Southway Builders took the baton in the afternoon and continued stacking bricks, finishing the cabinet project, AND helping us sort wire for recycling.

These volunteer groups help us knock out projects that we have really been needing help with finishing. They were troopers in the heat and did an awesome job!

THANK YOU!!!
