WESTON Leaders Make a Difference at Chicago Homeless Shelter
CHICAGO, Il — June 24,
2008 – On Tuesday, June 17, 2008 more than 100 corporate executives from Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON®)
and Illinois-based team leaders worked together to renovate, paint and clean three floors of the Cornerstone Community Outreach Center located at 4615 North Clifton Avenue, Chicago.
Teams of WESTON employees cleaned and enhanced
living areas, built dividing walls, painted living areas and hallways,
and sorted and organized clothing. In addition, the company donated
microwaves, a washer and dryer, dressers and shelving to improve accommodations
for the more than 350 homeless residents that call the Center home
each day.
Patrick G. McCann, WESTON President and CEO commented, “At WESTON, we strive to make a difference in the world, but it starts by making a difference in the communities where we live and work. I am very proud of the passion and commitment of our employees that devoted their time.”
WESTON and its strategic client The Sherwin-Williams
Company (Sherwin-Williams), share sustainability goals and a vision
of making a difference in the communities where they live and work.
Sherwin-Williams donated paint from its GreenSure line utilized
in the effort. GreenSure paint is a low odor, no-VOC formula with long-term
durability that has the highest indoor air quality ratings. Teams
applied paint to occupied rooms without causing disruption. The paint
also meets or exceeds GS-11 criteria for coatings used in LEED-certified
buildings.
