NRCC’s Philadelphia Team Room Helps Refurbish Veterans Multi-Service Center
Sixteen floor layers and carpenters from the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters’ Locals 251 and 158 teamed with the District Council 21 Painters Union to refurbish the Veterans Multi-Service Center located at 213 N. 4th Street in Philadelphia. The facility, which assists struggling veterans with employment and provides transitional housing for the homeless, serves more than 3,500 veterans and families annually.
The three-week charity project was completed in mid-November and was coordinated by the NRCC’s Philadelphia Team Room. In addition to installing new vinyl based carpet tiling in the building’s common area, the workers also enhanced the room with a fresh coat of paint. Findlay Installation Services and Sherwin Williams donated both the new flooring materials and paint for the project respectively.
