Twenty-five dedicated volunteers from Convergint Technologies volunteered to renovate one of our residential facilities on June 15th. The group rebuilt the backyard deck, laid a new walkway, updated the lighting and ceiling fans, replaced bathroom faucets, washed and re-glazed the windows, replaced bathroom fixtures, updated the fire panel, and powerwashed the house and driveway. Thank you so much for devoting your time to help the kids of Avondale House!
