Earlier this month, Contractor Connection held its sixth annualGlobal Day of Service. As part of the event, affiliated generalcontractors and their employees from around the world organizevolunteer projects in their communities and work together as ateam to enhance their local areas.

DALLASWHITEProperty Restoration was among the many companies whovolunteered their time and resources to help an organization inneed. In Las Vegas, Nevada, the company partnered with the Nevada Partnership forHomeless Youth (NPHY), a local nonprofit organization, andperformed much needed repairs and renovations in one of theirhomes.

The Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth’s mission is “toeliminate homelessness among Nevada’s youth.” Currently thereare 10,000 homeless youth in Nevada. "At NPHY, we provide a varietyof different services that are aimed at getting homeless youth offof the streets,” said Vincent Pollard, outreach manager at NPHY.“Perhaps the most important service that we offer is housing. Manyof our housing units are advanced in age, and in need of majorrepairs. Without community-minded organizations like DALLASWHITEproviding help and support with service projects, like the one wehosted on October 10th, there would be no way that we could keepour housing units in good condition. At NPHY we want to give ourhomeless clients not just any place to live, but a great place tolive and because of the generosity of DALLASWHITE our clients havejust that."

DALLASWHITE’s volunteers spent the day making essential repairsin the home, including electrical, water damage and drywallrepairs. In addition, the company’s skilled craftsmen were able tobuild a new homework station as well as shelving units in theclosets to enhance the quality of life for each child. “Our goal isto truly improve the quality of day-to-day life for those in needin our local area,” said Brian Whiteway, president and CEO ofDALLASWHITE Property Restoration.

Mission accomplished as the home’s residents were thrilled withthe improvements in their living space. DALLASWHITE extended aspecial thank you to Solid State Electrical and Dunn Edwards Paintsfor sending volunteers, as well as 84 Lumber, Lowes, and Habitatfor Humanity for donating supplies.
