Last
weekend the Joes gathered to continue our “Dine with Dignity” project at St
Elizabeth’s.
Background;
St. Elizabeth’s provides hot meals 4 days a week to over 500 people. The dining
area is an old gymnasium that has seen better days.
To
provide an environment that allows dinning with dignity the Joes are on track
to transform the room into a more pleasant environment for people to gather and
eat.
The
floor phase consisted of removing 30 year old linoleum that was stained and
could not be cleaned. This was accomplished by coordinating our resources and
the donation of time
and a floor removing machine by Trademark Flooring. The machine reduced our
time from our estimate of 5 hours to 2 hours. The Joe’s assisted with moving
the flooring material to the dumpster.
The next phase will be the cleaning and
polishing of the terrazzo floor which was the original floor.
Completing
the floor as well as the painting and interior design of this large space will
make It feel more comfortable and help us to achieve our goal of creating a
space to Dine with Dignity.
Our
completion time frame is 2 week before Thanksgiving so the Thanksgiving meal
will be served in the new area.
We
thank all of you for your support and prayers for allowing us to help others.
