Celebrating Christian Brothers Automotive Dedication to Wellspring
We at Wellspring are deeply grateful to all of the people, businesses, and agencies that partner with us to bring our mission to life.
Christian Brothers Automotive has been a dedicated partner to Wellspring and has supported our community in numerous ways. From offering free oil change days to our staff and families to encouraging their customers to donate to Wellspring, they have been long time champions of our mission. They have been amazing partners in the journey to open Unity on Park and played a key role in getting the old LaQuinta ready for the remodel. Most recently their team spent their Day of Service cleaning, dusting, mopping, and getting the building ready for its future residents.
Day of Service at a Glance
Forty dedicated volunteers brought their own cleaning supports and spent six hours at Unity on Park on their day of service, making a tremendous impact!
- Installed 6 large roller shades in the Community Room
- Attached 42 apartment numbers to the walls
- Mounted the TV in the lounge area
- Assembled about 20 pieces of patio furniture & about 16 cafe chairs
- Cleaned all apartments on the 2nd & 3rd floors including: windows (inside and outside) and laundry rooms
Thank you Christian Brothers Automotive for helping to make our vision of a community that includes people of all abilities come to life.
