GROUP PROJECTS:

Staff from Fannie Mae will join Behrend Builders on Friday, August 8 at Beacon House to paint and brighten the space. This is one of many projects that Behrend Builders will work with Fannie Mae staff to help low-income families and homeless shelters in the DC area.

The Schusterman Family Foundation staff will join MCCCS on August 29. This project (TBD) will be one of their staff’s quarterly volunteer projects with MCCCS. It’s an opportunity for their staff to give hands-on to the DC community along with an chance for their staff to build strength within their staff outside of their office and their day-to-day work load.

Do you have a staff group, youth group or organization that could benefit from a day together outside the office helping others? Contact us to talk about putiing together an MCCCS project for you. Contact us at behrendbuilders@washingtondcjcc.org.
