Through the generous support of River Valley Bank, NPT has been given the opportunity to partner with Little Brothers of Houghton, Kiwanis Club of the Copper Country, CLK Horizons Alternative School, MTUs Efficiency Through Engineering Technologies Enterprise, John Hamilton Construction and Martineau & Morris Contracting to seal and tighten up the homes of elderly Copper Country residents.
This program is a triple-win opportunity:
- Copper Country youth receive hands-on skill sets from seasoned Kiwanis Club volunteers, whose national 'Nailbenders' program offers up their carpentry skills by building handicapped access ramps to homes that need them. They also are mentored into the rewards of volunteerism.
- Students also receive one-on-one encouragement and mentorship from University students on the benefits and accessibility of choosing a college education.
- Winterization recipients will save money on their heating and electrical bills AND stay a little warmer when these deep cold snaps come through.
New Power Tour would like to thank all of the partners in this project for their willingness and service attitude.
Please support these generous sponsors and partners who believe in giving back to their community: |
