A BIG THANK YOU TO SASCO ATLANTIC SUPPLY CO. AND
GREENSCAPE LANDSCAPING!
Edenton Street UMC volunteers provide muscle while mulching our grounds on their
Great Day of Service.
The grounds surrounding our headquarters on Capital Boulevard were in need of some upkeep. Greenscape Landscaping put Development Director Mary Reed in touch with Sasco Atlantic Supply Co.owner Brent Booker, who stepped up to help by donating a truckload of mulch! Volunteers from Edenton Street UMC and staff members got together on September 19th and “pitched in” with pitchforks and wheelbarrows to spruce up our grounds. Our facility is now an even nicer place for clients to come for services. Please visit the Sasco Atlantic website at www.sascoatlantic.com for more information about the products they offer.
