| | 50 Home Depot employees gave up their day off on Thursday February 26 to give the Crisis Center for South Suburbia’s Emergency Shelter an Extreme Makeover. Team Depot, comprised of staff members from seven area stores worked to put a new face on the shelter residents bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room. The seven participating stores were Countryside, Darien, Homer Glen, Frankfort, Homewood, Orland Park and Matteson. Rooms were renovated with new flooring, lights, window treatments, a fresh coat of paint and custom special touches. Costco and J.C. Penny of Orland helped with new bedding.
Frankfort resident and Home Depot regional human resources manager, Jody Leonhard, recommended the Crisis Center for South Suburbia to receive the makeover, where her grandmother Marie Beemsterboer of Orland Park served as a board member for many years and helped raise the funds to build the facility in 1991.
