Renovation complete!
Thanks to generous grants from The Cannon Foundation, Duke Energy and the Polk County Community Foundation, Outreach received a much needed face lift! Building improvements included - 
  • new food pantry office
  • board room updates
  • kitchen upgrades
  • new interior paint and flooring
  • lighting upfit
  • new gutters
  • security cameras
This work was completed by Rimer Construction, who hired Polk County High School students learning the construction trade.  The project was completed with minimal impact to Outreach regular operating hours, clients, volunteers and staff.

Lighting upfit - More efficient, safer, softer lighting was installed throughout the entire Outreach building, including the lobby, staff offices, hallways, food pantry and kitchen.

New gutters and security cameras - The old gutters were sagging and leaking, causing drainage problems on our sidewalks.  The security cameras outside provide coverage all around the building and in our lobby.  New exterior light packs add additional safety and security
