EnviroVantage participates in the Building on Hope program

EnviroVantage has joined the Building On Hope program. Building on Hope is a new community initiative of volunteers who work with builders, architects and designers to provide physical improvements to facilities associated with non-profit service groups. The group has recently partnered with Easter Seals of New Hampshire to rebuild their White House Intensive Treatment Center on Mammoth Rd. The home was built in the 1930s as a single family residence. This two-story building is now home to five boys who for a range of reasons cannot live with their families. The White House is unique because it represents hope and the possibility of success. The old home is currently in need of many substantial physical repairs. More than 100 local businesses have offered their products and services to make this project possible - including EnviroVantage. EnviroVantage has volunteered crews to perform asbestos abatement, lead paint removal and selective demolition services at no cost. According to company president Scott Knightly, "we are grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to the community by taking part in this heartfelt project". The reconstruction began in April and building will continue until the community celebration on Sunday, May 16 where everyone who has helped make this dream come true is invited for food, fun and music!
