Eberl Iron Work’s Community Outreach Committee worked with Journey’s End Refugee Services, during our Day of Giving. Several employees helped clean and furnish an apartment on Buffalo’s East Side for a refugee family. A Rohingya family of refugees that arrived from Malaysia will be moving into the apartment. The family includes two children, a 5 year old boy and a 2 year old girl.
Our employees had a lot of fun and really enjoyed having the opportunity to volunteer for such an amazing cause.
“We got in there and the apartment was completely empty and dirty. Now it is move in ready for the family. We hope they enjoy their new place and we were all glad to be able to help out”
