Spectrum partners with Rebuilding Together to help Carson City homeowners
More than 25 Spectrum employee volunteers will be in Carson City this Saturday to support the Charter Communications, Inc. national philanthropic initiative, Spectrum Housing Assist, which focuses on safe and healthy homes and seeks to improve 25,000 homes by the year 2020.
Spectrum partners with Rebuilding Together to provide critical home repairs to low-income homeowners. For this event, Spectrum and Rebuilding Together Sacramento will rebuild a home in the Carson Colony area of Carson City.
Homeowners Wyman and Joanie are both seniors and members of the Washoe Tribe in Nevada. They have lived in Carson City for more than 68 years. Wyman, a former U.S. Navy serviceman from the Vietnam era, is wheelchair bound and Joanie is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments for cancer. Rebuilding Together and Spectrum are providing critical assistance to ensure a safe home that Wyman, Joanie and their grandchildren can enjoy for years to come.
“At Spectrum, we know the importance of a safe and healthy home. Spectrum Housing Assist was created to improve the livelihoods of residents and offer opportunities for our employees to help strengthen the communities in which we live and work,” said Spectrum Area Vice President Chris Hinzmann in a news release. “All of our area employees are happy to join the talented Rebuilding Together team of skilled contractors and local volunteers to make a long-lasting impact in our community.”
