THE CMI GROUP PROVIDES WELCOME BASKETS AND BLANKETS FOR THE HOMELESS
In December 2016, The CMI Group partnered with The Bridge to purchase, assemble and provide twenty “Welcome Home” baskets and donated over 100 blankets to help provide comfort and relief to our local Dallas homeless population. The Bridge is a local non-profit organization that was developed through a public-private partnership with the City of Dallas to deliver services to the homeless population in Dallas and six surrounding counties. In addition to housing, The Bridge provides the additional services: assessments, day/night shelters, health care coordination, and employment services. More than 1200 people receive their day shelter services each day! (source: www.thebridgenorthtexas.org)
The “Welcome Home” baskets that we provided went directly to formerly homeless individuals that have recently been placed in a transitional home. These baskets include over 30 common items such as cleaning supplies, bedding, personal hygiene items, and bathroom and kitchen supplies. These baskets assist in a successful transition from being homeless to having a home and we could not be more pleased with the level of enthusiasm and success of this company-sponsored opportunity to give back to our community.
We give thanks to our employees for their participation and to organizations like The Bridge that are working hard to eliminate homelessness in our communities!
