In honor of Veterans Day, employees in Arizona teamed up with Rebuilding Together®, the nation’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing communities by refurbishing homes and community buildings.
In Phoenix, Arizona, approximately 50 employees completed projects at the Carl Hayden Veterans Medical Center and the Arizona State Veteran Home. At the Medical Center, volunteers built wheelchair-accessible gardens and restored a recreational courtyard. At the State Veteran Home, which provides long-term care and rehabilitation, volunteers installed an artificial lawn on a rubberized mat to make it less likely a wheelchair will tip over, and a softer landing if a fall were to occur – the number one cause of accidents in a care facility.
Honeywell volunteers have completed similar projects for veterans in Clearwater, Florida, and Greer, South Carolina. Projects were coordinated by Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company’s corporate citizenship initiative.
