A Year of Project Max

The year we just left behind was indeed a very strong one in terms of work done in our communities through MLGW’s Project MAX program. Project MAX, an initiative that began 26 years ago to help the less fortunate in our communities, such as the elderly and the disabled, has been based on volunteer work from MLGW employees who invest some of their time off with one very specific purpose, to help others and better our community through hard, unselfish work. Through the build-up of wheelchair ramps, weatherization, plumbing, painting and even building homes, every year Project MAX volunteers benefit our community. The following is a summary of the work that Project MAX performed throughout 2010:

April 10 – Spring Kick-Off. Through the work of 42 volunteers, three wheelchair ramps were built, three homes weatherized, plumbing work was performed on three homes, and 70 energy kits were distributed.
