A team of volunteers from Alcoa Power
Generating Inc. spent Friday, May 8 working with Stanly County senior citizens
as part of the United Way of Stanly County’s Day of Caring. The volunteer
effort was part of an Alcoa ACTION grant that involves the donation of time and
money to support local community causes.
Alcoa employees completed five landscaping
and home repair projects through OASIS, a non-profit organization which
provides Stanly County seniors with services that help maintain independence
and dignity, prevent premature nursing home admittance, and enhance quality of
life. The company will also provide a $1,500 grant to OASIS.
“We love working with the seniors in our
community,” said Nicole Wright, the Alcoa Foundation’s local coordinator. “Our
employees really enjoyed spending the day out in the community and the people
we worked with were so appreciative.”
