On December 5, 2017, Wheeler Accountants spent the day helping a local non-profit that makes a big impact on the community. This is an annual event that is looked forward to across the office, and is coordinated by our in house Events Committee.
The year, Wheeler chose to volunteer at ConXion to Community, a wonderful organization that makes a big impact in our community. The mission of ConXion is to create new opportunities through education, workforce development and social services to create a better community. They offer a wide variety of community assistance programs, including at risk youth and adult education. The Organization has a large building that needs maintenance. Learn more about ConXion by visiting their website (www.conxion.org/).
Per the Organization, “so much was accomplished during the volunteer day.”
The Wheeler team split up into four groups to tackle tasks that ConXion had assigned. One team cleaned out the side yard to help drain ground water surge and rain water. This helps prevent leaks through the floors of the building. A second team tackled the front yard, and helped make some safety improvements by clearing the fire hydrant of ivy! A third team worked in the main hall to put up a Christmas tree and other decorations for the upcoming toy drive. The fourth and final team – the painters- did a great job painting walls in the facility to help the Organization look much more professional, per Patrick at ConXion.
After Wheeler did their hard work, they enjoyed pizza and bowling. Another Volunteer Day on the books, and already looking forward to next year!
