Thank you to our friends at Harkins Builders, Inc. for contributing laptops for resident use at Imani Village in Wilmington, Delaware. "I read an article that made me think of all the IT equipment we have at Harkins that gets rotated out each year," said Mike Pryzbylkowski, vice president at Harkins. "Donating the laptops to residents seemed like a good start to giving back to the local residents."

Shortly before the holidays, handmade quilts blanketed Independence Mall in Philadelphia for a temporary homeless memorial. The blankets, collected by a volunteer initiative called the Homeless Memorial Blanket Project, were then turned over to local service providers to distribute to Philly youth with unstable housing. Pennrose was pleased to play a small role in the event through the involvement of corporate team members and residents and staff at Imani Village in Wilmington, Delaware. Yarn was donated and collected at the Pennrose corporate office. The Community Impact Coordinator at Imani Village coordinated inter-generational activities during the community's after school events. The activities brought together residents with knitting and crocheting skills and school age children to create blankets that were donated to the memorial. Crafters from Maine to South Carolina contributed approximately 700 blankets that were spread across the frozen grass on Independence Mall in a show of solidarity and generosity with the more than half a million Americans experiencing homelessness. Thank you to the Pennrose team members and residents who participated and donated!
