BuildaBridge has always depended on the kindness of others, and recently we hosted two fantastic volunteerworkdays! In late August, a group of thirty-six Arcadia University freshmen took a day out of their orientation week to pool their elbow grease.BuildaBridge was also privileged to have been selected by the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania as a nonprofit partner for its 2008 Days of Caring.Fifteen employees from Pennsylvania Lumbermen's Mutual Insurance Company spent a gorgeous September day working in the BuildaBridge backyard.
Between these two projects, volunteers were able to break up our eighty-year-old concrete driveway, smooth out the gravel below, relay several sections of the historic brick surrounding the BuildaBridge house, clean out part of our massive basement, and plant some shrubbery.
These groups' accomplishments have gone a long way toward making our dream of a sustainable children's art space in Germantown a reality! We thank them for their work and hope to continue our partnerships with them.
