WEST VALLEY, N.Y. – Employees at EM West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) recently helped two local nonprofits with landscaping, maintenance, and other work as part of United Way volunteer efforts.
One WVDP team painted three classrooms at Delevan Head Start, and removed weeds, raked leaves, and added mulch to the school’s playground. A second team installed a new 120-foot-long wooden fence at Springville Youth, Inc., which offers recreational activities.
Lettie Chilson, a United Way Day of Caring coordinator and facility manager with WVDP cleanup contractor CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV), said the volunteering speaks to the generosity and kindness of employees and local businesses.
“It shows the positive impact that kindness can have on a community,” Chilson said.
Scott Anderson, CHBWV president and general manager, said he was grateful that employees work hard all week and then give a day’s worth of their free time to worthy causes.
“This clearly demonstrates the commitment our employees have for their community,” Anderson said.
