SHC Directors Renovate House in East Palo Alto
May 3, 2010The sound of hammers, power tools, rakes and shovels could be heard at the home of long time East Palo Alto resident, Roselyn Womack on Saturday, April 24, as a group of directors from SHC worked to paint her house, fix her roof and re-landscape her yard.
The Director’s Group at SHC selected National Rebuilding Day as a way to get to know one another better outside of work and to have an opportunity to MAKE A DIFFERNCE in the community at the same time. National Rebuilding Day is an annual event sponsored by Rebuilding Together®, a national nonprofit organization that preserves affordable homeownership and revitalizes communities by renovating houses.
SHC directors worked in COLLABORATION with Stanford University Housing Services and Stanford Catholic Community. “It was a rewarding experience to help someone else and to do so with my fellow directors at SHC. Working side by side and getting filthy dirty is a great way to get to know each other,” said Laurie Quintel, Director of HR | Employee Labor & Relations.
