Marathon Oil Builds Ramp in St. Paul

Last month, we partnered with volunteers from Marathon Petroleum Corporation to build a ramp for a homeowner in need in St. Paul. This team worked under the guidance of four of our most experienced ramp volunteers from our Honeywell Ramp Team. We appreciate the hard work and support of the Marathon Oil Team and the Honeywell Ramp Team’s dedication and leadership!

Thank You to Volunteers from Ehlers

On June 14th, we hosted more than 25 volunteers from Ehlers to help a single mom of five kids in Brooklyn Park with much-needed repairs and maintenance to her home. Volunteers spent the day painting exterior siding and trim, cleaning up the yard, power-washing and reinforcing a few boards on the deck, cleaning out the gutters, and making minor interior repairs. The generous team from Ehlers also donated a new picnic table, deck chairs, and grill to the family. We are grateful to the team from Ehlers for helping us complete this important project!

Opus Founders Day

We recently partnered with volunteers The Opus Group to provide much needed repairs for two low-income families for Founders Day. We helped a family in Blaine with seven kids. They bought their home seven years ago and in that time, the deck and stairs leading from their back patio door fell into serious disrepair. This created an unsafe egress/ingress situation, especially for their small children. We successfully removed their deck with the help of volunteers last year, and this year, we built them a safe, quality set of stairs so that the family has one less thing to worry about with raising their children.

We also helped an 84-year-old woman who lives in a mobile home and is unable to walk by herself. Her son lives with her and helps her get into and out of the house when he can. He also provides transportation to appointments and errands. We built her a ramp, providing her freedom from managing the old steps to her front door.

We are very grateful for the support and hard work of The Opus Group!
