Volunteers Make A Difference In Cantonment
June 15, 2013
The Council on Aging of West Florida and volunteers from International Paper teamed up Friday afternoon to help an elderly Cantonment resident.
About a dozen IP employees braved the afternoon heat by cleaning up the yard of 80-year old Maggie McNeal. The volunteers raked, trimmed and cleaned out McNeal’s yard.
“I just thank the Lord for all the help that’s come out here and help me,” McNeal said. “I thank the Lord for them.”
There’s often a waiting list of people like McNeal that need a helping hand in the yard from the Council on Aging, so they are always looking for more volunteers. For more information, call the Council on Aging at (850) 432-1475.
