Construction workers build ramps for physically challenged residents
Most visions of angels don’t include hard hats, but in the eyes of a Valley not-for-profit, that’s exactly what appeared recently when a team of local construction workers built ramps to ease access to their members’ homes and other buildings.
McCarthy has joined with Westcoast Roof Consulting of Costa Mesa to assemble a group of subcontractors and suppliers to help reroof the Laguna Beach Community Clinic (LBCC). Altogether, the group is expected to donate approximately $35,000 in construction materials and services to complete this project. LBCC provides a full scope of primary care services to the underserved in this area and is one of only two community clinics in south Orange County. Dr. Korey Jorgensen, a physician at LBCC for more than 35 years, is spearheading the building effort for the clinic.
McCarthy Heart Hats volunteers recently conducted construction work along with Jezowski & Markel Contractors/Marne Construction, Conco Concrete Pumping, Standard Concrete, Pinnacle Disposal and California Sanitation at the family home of Alec (Bunk) Wurth in Orange, Calif.
McCarthy’s Heart Hats grant is single-largest gift to pet therapy organization
Gabriel’s Angels founder Pam Gaber was recently surprised with a financial donation that broke the record for the single largest gift ever donated to the growing pet therapy organization when McCarthy, through the firm’s community giving program, Heart Hats, presented her with check for $50,000.
McCarthy’s choice for its Heart Hat program this year started by watching the Today Show on NBC. Lori Winsor in McCarthy’s Roseville office saw a story about Project Sunshine on the news and wanted to know if this fit the profile for McCarthy’s Community Day efforts.
