Extreme Home Makeover
Redecorated safehouse room with 2 bedsThis spring, friend of WRC Neshanta Banks organized several groups of volunteers to do a full makeover of all of the suites in our safehouse.  They cleaned, painted, and bought new pillows, sheets, comforters, shower curtains, bathroom supplies, and room decor.  The results were amazing!
 
Redecorated safehouse room with 4 bedsVolunteers included the Silhouettes of Kappa Alpha Psi, Decatur Chapter Team; a Coca-Cola Company team; an A-Plus Post Office Team, and a Comcast team who also supplied lunch.  Many thanks to all who participated:  Neshanta Banks, Christi Collier, Mechelle Fears, Lula Hardy, Michelle Miller, Deborah Neal, Anita Pratter, Marilyn Patterson, Linda Brigham, Bria Brigham, Paulette Henderson, Pamela Tillman, Dorothy Banks, Anita White, Josephine Wooley, Lisa Walker, Tammie Daugherty, Trudy Cannon, Faith Aikens, Mollie Garner, Nia Parker, IB Don Pedro, Haley Floyd, Christina Floyd, Johneta Paschal, and Marilyn Stinson.
