Volunteers Show Their Stuff at Samaritan

On Saturday, August 2nd, twenty-five volunteers from the Pepsi Bottling Group--Rebuilding Together Detroit--and Young Detroit Builders came together with Samaritan Center staff to rehabilitate the outdoor courtyard adjacent to the Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick Conference Center. The event was coordinated by RTD Chair, Donna Murray, and led by PBG manager Andreanna Maddox-Jones and Jerry Pauzus and Beverly Manick of YDB.

After the 9:00 AM welcome by Gary Tester, HCCS V.P. of Advocacy, the volunteers tackled the formidable job of turning an aging, rundown outdoor courtyard into a clean, manicured, well-groomed, and invitingly peaceful spot for outdoor relaxation. The courtyard will be used by Samaritan program participants, visitors, staff, and residents of the 120 bed Samaritan Manor. Even in the midst of a difficult re-election campaign, Congresswoman Cheeks Kilpatrick found time to stop by and thank the volunteers for their outstanding work.

Before Image

By 4:00 pm that day the transition was miraculous. Scores of new flowers and plants were in place; rotted wood seats and table tops were replaced; shrubbery was trimmed; old plantings were de-weeded and newly mulched; and a dumpster was filled with all the "old stuff." Supported by lots of cold Pepsi products throughout the day, the volunteers were tired but well-satisfied by a job well done by day's end.

Thanks to Pepsi Bottling Group--Rebuilding Together Detroit and Young Detroit Builders, Samaritan Center has a peaceful place for people to rest, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Oh, and did we mention that the volunteers not only did the work but also paid for the $25,000 project!
