Volunteerism - June 11
HCN partnered with Standard Process and Palmyra Park Apartment Homes residents for some much needed volunteer gardening. Volunteers pitched in with weeding, laying mulch, and overall design support to create a even more beautiful area. “I want to start by saying the yard looks simply amazing. The volunteers are the kindest and most friendly people we have encountered in a long time. It is a joy to open our curtains and look outside now! Thank you and all of the Standard Staff for doing this for us. You folks are treasures!” – Cheryl Charles (pictured)
