Phillip Morris USA Gives the Center a facelift!





The first post of the blog is about our most recent volunteers who came to help out the Center. Anyone who has walked through the Center knows that it is in dire need of serious attention. The walls are crumbling, there are leakage problems, and the paint is (was) peeling.
Thanks to Hands on Charlotte, volunteers from Phillip Morris USA came out to help give the Bethlehem Center a fresh coat of paint. With 25+ volunteers in tow, the volunteers were able to paint the first floor hallways and the auditorium. At the end of the day, they presented us with a check for $5400 to go towards putting down a safer and more economically efficient rubberized playground surface for one of our Head Start sites.
Phillip Morris has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the community specifically through youth organizations. You can read more about their stance here.

Thank you again to Phillip Morris for all that you do in your communities!
