Little City 2014 “Make a Difference Day” Brings New Look for the Center for Employment and Business Opportunities

More than 50 volunteers from $99 per Room, Harper College and Holy Family Parish painted The Center for Employment and Business Opportunities during “Make a Difference Day,” a national day of community service. The makeover included five classrooms, a large common area, three hallways, six offices, the front entry and more than 25 doors. 

Little City wishes to thank its generous volunteers:

In-kind supplies valued at over $8,000 and volunteer labor approximating $7,800 made the project possible. ReNew Paint, LLC donated the paint; Sherman Williams tinted the paint. Harper College and Holy Family Parish provided painting equipment and $99 per Room supplied tools and expert advice.
