Honeywell and Rebuilding Together Seattle completed a renovation project at the home of 77-year-old Mary Lou Judd in Bothell on Saturday.
The company donated $5,000 in materials and more than 30 Honeywell volunteers spent the day repairing and improving the safety and accessibility of her home, including repairing railings and a wheelchair ramp, replacing flooring and cabinets and modifying the bathroom.
“The repairs done by Honeywell and Rebuilding Together are the answers to my prayers,” said Judd. “I was unable to complete these repairs myself and did not know where to turn for help. I want to thank all of the volunteers for this great work.”
Honeywell Hometown Solutions, with the help of Rebuilding Together, a national nonprofit, focuses on improving the lives and homes of low-income homeowners through modifications and repairs at no cost to the recipients.
“Honeywell is proud to be a part of this community, and this project provided a gratifying opportunity to our volunteers today,” said Russ Schultz, Senior Director at Honeywell Aerospace’s facility in Redmond. “We are glad we could improve Mary Lou’s living situation by doing needed repairs. Her home is now a safer place for her to live.”
Since 2003, more than 13,300 Honeywell volunteers have repaired nearly 450 homes and nonprofit centers in 42 Honeywell communities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, preserving and revitalizing low-income housing, schools and other community assets.
