McCarthy Honored by Veterans First

Words: Dan KamysMcCarthy Honored by Veterans First

Veterans First of Orange County, Calif., recently honored McCarthy Building Co.s with a OneOC Spirit of Volunteerism 2012 Outstanding Volunteer Award. 

The OneOC Spirit of Volunteerim Awards event honors the service of the individuals, teams and businesses that make the Orange County community a stronger and more vibrant place to live, work and play. During this year’s ceremony, many of Orange County’s community member and employee volunteers were honored by several non-profit, community organizations and companies for the time and talent they have contributed to build better communities.
 
Veterans First, which is a non-profit rehabilitation facility that provides housing and financial assistance to homeless and low-income military veterans in Orange County, chose McCarthy to receive the volunteerism award for the facility improvement project the firm conducted at the Veterans First housing complex in Anaheim. 
 
McCarthy volunteers helped with the Veterans First service project through the McCarthy Heart Hats, a volunteer community outreach group which enables McCarthy employees to dedicate time and resources to community involvement on paid workdays. More than one dozen McCarthy Heart Hats participated in the project which included hanging drywall; painting; installing carpeting, kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures; building an outdoor shed; and conducting yard cleanup and landscape improvements. 
 
In addition to providing labor for the facility improvements, McCarthy employees donated more than 28 new mattresses, box spring sets and bedding to the veterans. McCarthy Heart Hats also organized building support from additional volunteers and donors including Bergelectic, Borbon Inc., Capparelli Contracting, Signature Flooring and Southern California Environmental.  All in all, about $20,000 in labor and donations were made by this team of construction workers, some of which are U.S. veterans or have family members currently serving our country.
