Kaiser Project
What a difference some paint makes!
|
On February 5th and 6th, HandsOn Inland Empire, the volunteer initiative of the Inland Empire United Way, partnered with Kaiser Permanente, University of Redlands and Arrowhead United Way to give Inland Behavioral and Health Services clinic in San Bernardino a paint makeover.
Students from the University of Redlands and over 80 Kaiser Permanente and Inland Behavioral and Health Clinic employees volunteered their time to paint the facilities and make it a more welcoming environment for their clients.
What a difference some paint makes!
Painted walls a sky blue and added a fun rainbow mural.
