The Michael & Son Cares team has been working tirelessly over the last few months throughout Virginia and Maryland. Since the first episode of “Helping Hands”, the request for assistance have been pouring in and the Cares Team has been working over time to keep up. Because of the current economic climate, those in need are finding themselves in an increasingly desperate situations. Government cutbacks related to federal assistance are at an all time high and as a result, church groups and other NGO’s are finding themselves overwhelmed and under funded. This leaves very few places for those in need to turn and many simply do without the basic necessities that many of us take for granted on a daily basis. In an effort to help fill the void left by government austerity measures, Michael & Son has been stepping up its efforts to form community action partnerships with businesses in our community. “It’s our goal to get other businesses involved in community service” said Basim Mansour, Proud Owner and Son of Michael & Son Services. “If every able business in the area started their own Cares Program, our community would be a different place”. So far, Michael & Son Services has been successful in inspiring other businesses to join our cause. Here is a list of some of the businesses that have generously donated their time, expertise and materials:
Ferguson
Carrier
Rexel
Home Depot
Smoot Lumber
Roof Center
Varco
Virginia Roofing Corporation
B&H Tile
Action Sheet Metal
Benjamin Moore
Carpetland
The companies listed above answered our call to action without hesitation. We hope that more companies in the area will show the same willingness and determination to make our community a better place.
