Our annual volunteer and donation appreciation event at Parkville Market in Hartford, CT was a fantastic celebration of our community's dedication and hard work. The evening was highlighted by the inspiring stories of two recent graduates from the Richard P. Garmany Fresh Start Academy, whose journeys exemplify the transformative impact of our programs. We also had the pleasure of honoring our incredible volunteers and donors with awards, recognizing their invaluable contributions to our organization's success. The event was filled with fun and engaging activities, bringing together everyone who plays a part in our mission. It was a heartwarming occasion that allowed us to express our deepest gratitude and celebrate the achievements of our volunteers, graduates, and donors.
We were particularly proud to celebrate the success of John and Kevin, who graduated from the academy in September after completing a six week course. Both were hired into construction jobs immediately after graduation, and their achievements highlight the effectiveness of our program. We have been in touch with John and Kevin since their graduation, and they both share how much they love their new jobs. Their stories are a testament to the positive change that our academy can bring, and we are truly happy for them and celebrate their success.
Fresh Start Pallet Products is thrilled to welcome its newest cohort of five students, who began their journey in October and are set to graduate in November. This talented group has shown exceptional promise, with several students excelling in framing and drywall skills. Their dedication and hard work are truly commendable. This class is also working on a special project for the holidays, and we can’t wait to share their amazing creation with you. Stay tuned for more updates on their progress and the exciting reveal!
