CANCO pitches in at homeless shelter

 

Carl A. Nelson & Company employees make a difference in their community even when they're not busy building things.

 

Several CANCO employees and a couple of their spouses gave up part of their weekend Sept. 30 to complete a painting project at the Burlington Area Homeless Shelter. The group completed a paining project at the shelter, putting some finishing touches on a springtime employee fundraiser in support of the shelter. Harris previously patched holes in the wall to prepare for the painting to be done. Earlier this summer, a new back door was installed by CANCO at the shelter to keep out the rain and let in a little natural light.

 

Kathy Johnson, the executive director of the shelter, expressed her gratitude to CANCO for its fundraising and its labor.
