The VIP Structures volunteers worked hard to transform the grounds of the Emma L. Johnston Southside Family Resource Center. Their skilled team quickly tackled a long list of tasks—including painting, clearing overgrown bushes, cutting back invasive vines, and removing persistent weeds—completely revitalizing the exterior.

Thanks to their dedication and effort, the center now boasts a refreshed, welcoming appearance that truly reflects the vital work happening inside. We’re incredibly grateful to VIP Structures for helping create a more inviting space for the community.

The Nucor Steel Auburn team returned to the Liverpool Head Start location to tackle more landscaping work, focusing on clearing overgrowth around the playground and back alley. Trees, vines, and weeds didn’t stand a chance—they were cut down and cleared out quickly, filling a pickup truck four times with debris.

While the team worked hard, the children enjoyed chatting through the fence, asking questions, and learning from their teachers about why the cleanup was important.

Thanks to their dedication and teamwork, the entire job—and more—was completed in just two hours. We’re truly grateful to Nucor for helping create a cleaner, safer space for our kids to play and grow!

PEACE, Inc. had an incredible time participating in the United Way Day of Caring, and we want to give a huge shoutout to the team from Haylor, Freyer & Coon, Inc. for their amazing hard work at our Merrick Head Start site.

Their efforts extended to cleaning and organizing classrooms, painting selected rooms, building new shelves for better organization, and improving the outdoor space with light landscaping.

Their dedication and commitment exceeded all expectations, and we are truly grateful for the difference they made in our community. Thank you, Haylor, Freyer & Coon, Inc., for your outstanding support!
