Safe Shelter Kitchen Remodel
YWCA’s Safe Shelter Kitchen Remodel Is A Heartwarming Sight
This past November we have had much to be thankful for, including the completion of our beautiful shelter kitchen remodel. It took many committed partners who donated their time and resources to pull it off, but we did it! The new kitchen maximizes use of the space by incorporating two full kitchens (one of which is ADA Compliant!) into one workable area for women and children to use while staying at our domestic violence safe shelter. Photos below!
To our partners and sponsors we thank you for making this dream become a reality:
- Abba Construction, Wayne & Jeremy
- Caesarstone, Jill Hughbanks
- Capaul Stoneworks, Darren Capaul
- DalTile, Rick Krogel
- Elizabeth Pool Charitable Trust – Aubrey Kubik
- Frank M. & Gertrude R. Doyle Foundation
- Fred’s Appliance, Steve Ellis
- Freedom Plumbing, Mark Simpson
- Gina’s Design Center, Gina Cook
- Hardware Resources, Jeff Hilzendeger
- Inland Construction, Darin Davidson
- Master Brand, Derek Dimmick
- Mohawk Industries, Richard Owen
- Sherwin Williams, Ryan M Meline
- Voltric Electric, Frank Johnson
Sincere appreciation also goes to the local restaurants who donated meals for the women and children to eat while the kitchen was out of commission at our shelter during the remodel. These hot meals made a huge difference to reduce the stress that can come with a remodel in what is already a very difficult time for those who are staying at our shelter. Thank you!
