The Hull Family Renovation
In late summer, The Home Depot approached Volunteers of America with an idea. They had been renovating homes of veterans in need across the country and decided to do a home in Denver with The Mission Continues. Could we set them up with a veteran? As one of the largest nonprofits in Colorado, we have many veterans in our care. How to pick just one?
Eventually, we choose a family in dire need of a renovation. Mr. James Hull had been both a WWII and Korean War veteran. Mr. Hull and his wife also have a son, Michael, who is developmentally disabled. The entire family are clients in our Meals on Wheels Program. The Hulls, now in their eighties, could no longer keep up with the demands of their home.
It was a massive renovation. Two weeks of hard work by The Home Depot and The Mission Continues, countless volunteer hours and a lot of optimism transformed the Hull House. Today, the Hulls are delighted to be in a house that is clean, safe and comfortable. They are still Meals on Wheels clients and have help with small tasks around the house and cleaning. Thank you to The Home Depot and The Mission continues for making this story possible. Together, we can make a difference.
