More than 130 TVA employees came to the Chambliss Center for Children campus for their Combined Federal Campaign Day of Caring. This marked the 20th year TVA has chosen to do a Day of Caring at the agency.
Although the weather was rainy, the highly-skilled volunteers completed nearly all 50 tasks on the agency’s wish list. Volunteers tackled interior projects such as cleaning, painting, replacing ceiling tiles and sorting files. Exterior projects included cleaning and carpeting steps,mulching, small construction projects and clearing trees.
“The TVA employees that attend this Day of Caring are highly-skilled,” says Katie Harbison, vice president of Development and Administration for Chambliss Center for Children.
“They get an entire year’s worth of projects completed in one day. This is a huge financial help to our agency, as we would otherwise have to hire out many of these jobs.”
