Posted by on

The Parish of Corpus Christi Church would like to extend a huge Thank You and heartfelt gratitude to the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, Day of Caring Event, to those who organized and coordinated the event, to Curbell Inc. who sent 40 of their employees, Pointman, sent 15 of their employees and Kaleida Health with 5 employees. We can’t thank you enough. These people arrived fresh and ready to tackle the gardening, cleaning, washing walls, setting up tables, carting out debris that accumulated for years, and more! way more! To accomplish and complete so many projects in one morning is unbelievable. Thank you one and all. These people were accompanied by our own volunteers. We just made sure the outside volunteers had the products, tools and equipment necessary to do the project assigned. We thank our volunteers also. You are always there when we need you. Thank you one and all.
